Cigars
Cigar aficiona-
dos may want to
enjoy a few
Cubans while
they are in
Argentina.
Davidoff
, the internationally known tobacco-
nist, opened its first shop in Argentina in 1998
at Maipu 818. In addition to a wide selection of
cigars from around the world, the gift shop fea-
tures a lovely selection of humidors.
Music
Music may be just what you need to fight the
blues should you begin to feel nostalgic upon
your return home. María Sera Lima,
Pimpinela, Marilena Ross and Victor Heredia
are among Argentina's best known contempo-
rary vocalists. Mercedes Sosa, Olinda Bozán,
and Carlos Gardel (who is said to be “singing
better every day,” despite the fact that he's
been dead for over 50 years!) are the immortals
of traditional and tango music. Jazz stylists
Chick Correa and Gato Barbieri are local boys
who have hit the big time internationally.
Most music shops in Buenos Aires are huge and
are busy from morning to night. They are con-
centrated in the Florida and Lavalle areas.

Just as you would expect, the tango, past and
