Activities for the Week of July 12



Monday, July 12th


La Bomba de Tiempo is back!

La Bomba de Tiempo (The Time Bomb) is a wildly popular percussion group that plays on Monday nights at the Centro Cultural Konex (Sarmiento 3131). If you like concerts, you will enjoy La Bomba! Tickets are $20 pesos in advance and $25 at the door. La Bomba starts at 8:00, but we advise arriving around 7 to see the opening act and avoid the long lines. While waiting to get in, you can take advantage of the street vendors selling food and drinks: once you are inside the Konex center prices are a bit steeper.
