The AudioFilm (cinema for closed eyes) »Escenas de la Ciudad« (»Scenes in the City«) characterizes parts of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, one of the largest metropolitan areas in South America. The loud hustle and bustle of the city never stops, but Buenos Aires is a world full of surprises. At almost secret places the sound waves ebb away and the music of Buenos Aires fulfills the atmosphere. »Escenas de la Ciudad« is a record about Capital Federal and its legendary guitar player Aníbal Arias.
In the middle of Buenos Aires, in San Telmo near Plaza Dorrego the grand old master Aníbal Arias, the singer Lidia Borda, the guitar player Ignacio López, Aníbal Arias’ old friend and long time musical partner Osvaldo Montes on bandoneon and the violinist Ramiro Gallo meet in the quiet patio of a former Jesuit church. In the last century the building was used as a prison, today it is a museum which reminds of Argentina’s brutal dictatorial governments. From time to time concerts take place in this wonderful building with a great acoustics.
