CULTURE
& TRADITION IN BARILOCHE, PATAGONIA ARGENTINA
The "City of Lakes", With its typical European architecture,
has grown up between the influence of early pioneer and Indian culture.
This mixture has created a variety of national, regional and local festivities:
"Navidad Coral"(Christmas Choir Songs), "Fiesta de la Mosqueta"
(Rosehip Celebration), "Fiesta de las Colectividades Europeo-Argentina
y Latin-Americans" (Latin-American and European-Argentine Festival),
"Fiesta de la Tradición"(National Tradition Celebration),
"La Patagonia Canta en Bariloche" (The Patagonian Song Festival
in Bariloche), "la Fiesta del Curanto" (The Curanto Festival)
and the Anniversary of the City.
In the winter season the traditional National Snow Festival takes place.
Summer brings a variety of concerts, conference and musical training courses,
organized by the Camping Musical. These courses are held for musical students
from all over the world. The famous "Camerata Bariloche" was
created here and many wellknown musicians started in these courses.
Another popular feature of the local culture are the "Coro de Niños
y Jóvenes Cantore" (Young peoples choir) concerts. These have
been a success for the last fifteen years at the Teatro Argentino de La
Plata, Belgrano Auditorium, Teatro Colon de Buenos Aires and on tours
through Chile, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. There are also choral groups
like the "Coral Melipal", "Coro del Centro Atómico
Bariloche", important luthier like Raúl Pérez, musicians,
artists and even cartoonists like Chingolo Casalla.

and international weekly exhibits near the SCUM (Multiple cultural activities
