The story

Authentic Traditional Chamame National Festival in Mburucuya

A small-town Corrientes festival billing itself as chamamé's 'authentic, traditional' showcase, now with over fifty provincial editions and more than twenty as a nationally recognized event. Centered on Mburucuyá's claim as chamamé's birthplace and its ties to composer Salvador 'Gigante' Miqueri. A recent edition marked the 57th provincial staging and the 21st under national status, and was dedicated to the centennial of Miqueri's birth.

Mburucuyá calls itself the birthplace of chamamé, and its festival leans into that claim by billing itself as the 'authentic, traditional' alternative to bigger regional showcases.
