Hello Friends!!! This is not "Chacarera", is a "Escondido" , dance tradicional all around Argentina. The dancers are lossers, because de "escondido" is most large, but similar rithm. Performance by Nestor Garnica, track "En la ceniza una flor". Surfolk Buenos Aires. Argentina-

Of course the dancers are "losers" - they are people from the street on the street - in love, drunk, some without rythm, others don't know the pasos - but you know, that's why I felt quite at home there, because we all enjoyed the evening! ;-)

Thanks for your comment! Matzumotto

Just a comment: Chacarera is not a Andes rithm, it is from central area of Argentina, although there are some influences related Chacarera have not conection with Andes music. And Chacarera communicate passion, ok, but not much relate to happiness... "latinamerican happiness" is a cliche.

Thanks for your response! Well, I'm not the expert here... But happy were the people dancing - that's why I mentioned it - and some even showed passion for another ;-) Chacarera is also danced in Bolivia - that's why I assumed it's spread in the Andes. Saludos desde Trondheim, Noruega

Muy lindo el video. Hay alegría popular. La música es el escondido En la Ceniza una Flor, de Pablo Raúl Trullenque y Orlando Gerez. Posiblemente está tocado por Néstor Garnica. El escondido es parecido a la chacarera, aunque la coreografía es ligeramente diferente.

Thank you for the nice video! It reminds me of the life style of the Bulgarian immigrants (in Argentina) who settled in San Telmo between the 1880's and the 1930's.

Che esos brazos tienen que abrirse y ponerlos alto asi como queriendo abrazar al MUNDO.

Y el cuerpo tiene que balancearse como una arbol cuando el viento lo acaricia..con gracia y delicadeza...con amor al sonido, a la patria y su gente-Argentina.
