The Extinction of the Bandoneon

Exploring Buenos Aires and getting to know the local people exposed us to some hidden insights. One of their concerns was the extinction of the Bandoneon in Argentina. 

 

"More than a century has passed since the Bandoneons arrival to Rio de la Plata. Over the past ten years the exportation of these instruments as souvenirs has increased to concerning levels. The shortage in supply has pushed prices beyond the reach of many locals. The instruments affordability is now a national problem in Argentina.

 

The Bandoneon is seen as a key tool for the expression of musicians, the survival and evolution of tango and the strengthening of Argentinean culture identify."

 

During the 10th Tango Festival in Buenos Aires, people signed a petition to save the Bandoneon through the work of the Civil Association La Casa del Bandoneon.
