Nostalgias Campesinas | Horacio Banegas

Artists: Horacio Banegas, Mono Banegas, Jana Banegas, and Franco Giovos. Horacio Banegas is a legend from Santiago del Estero. He and his group bring on the powerful sound of their land. Santiago del Estero was the southern part of the Inca Empire, so you can hear them singing in quichua (the Inca’s language) as well as Spanish. They also showcase the Sacha-guitarra, an instrument invented by Elpidio Herrera, a small guitar played with a little bow that can sound like a mandolin or a violin from “el monte”. The groove is so sick you can’t sit down. Premiered on Thu, 09 Mar 2023, at Folklore Argentino 3 curated by Leo Genovese.
