Ryan and I went to a tiny Carnival celebration on Medrano Street in Almagro last night. It featured a local award-winning murga (group of people who dance and sing together, in matching costumes, during Carnival), some tango singing (what event in BA would be complete without it!), and lots of children spraying foam at each other and whoever else was around. It was short and small, but a ton of fun, and the dancers were terrific. The announcer mostly talked about how great Almagro is (there's a lot of neighborhood pride here.)
It was all a little dark and fast for my camera, so you should really check out Ryan's site to see a nicer picture, and hopefully his Flickr account later on to see much more of it! Either way, you'll be seeing more when we go to Gualeguaychu in a few weeks to see the biggest Carnival in Argentina!
