There’s nothing quite like singing the anthems of Charly, Spinetta, or Soda Stereo at the top of your lungs. Now imagine experiencing them in a magical atmosphere, surrounded by thousands of candles and with string arrangements that give you goosebumps. That’s what the Candlelight concerts in Buenos Aires are all about—they’re revamping their lineup once again to include an all-new tribute dedicated to Andrés Calamaro. An immersive experience to rediscover our music, with tickets starting at $23,500.

From Calamaro to Charly: The 5 Candlelight Shows That Pay Homage to Argentine Music

• Tribute to Andrés Calamaro: An exciting journey through the work of one of the greatest poets of our rock scene. From the golden years with Los Abuelos de la Nada and Los Rodríguez to his most glorious solo era, a string quartet breathes new life into anthems like “Mil horas,” “Sin documentos,” and “Flaca.”

• Tribute to Charly García: The universe of the great genius of Argentine rock rendered through the elegance of a string quartet. The performance successfully blends the raw energy and rhythm of “Demoliendo Hoteles ” and “No Voy En Tren ” with the delicacy of immortal classics like “Seminare” and “Promesas Sobre el Bidet.”

• Tribute to Luis Alberto Spinetta: The subtle poetry and harmonic complexity of “El Flaco,” brought to life in a magical dimension by candlelight. The string ensemble captures the sensitivity of masterpieces such as “Muchacha (ojos de papel),” “Barro Tal Vez,” and “Seguir viviendo sin tu amor.”

• Classic Tangos: The magic of tango in its purest form. Accompanied by the enveloping sound of the bandoneon, the string quartet reinterprets timeless classics such as Gardel ’s “Volver ,” Mores ’ “Uno ,” and Piazzolla’s “Adiós Nonino.”

• De Música Ligera: This tribute is a time machine that takes you straight back to the golden age of Soda Stereo and Cerati’s best years as a solo artist. Songs like “De música ligera, ” “En la ciudad de la furia, ” and “Prófugos” are performed in an unforgettable acoustic version that any fan of Argentine rock will cherish.
