In Buenos Aires, there is no scene over-dominated by state funding and institutions, but many independent initiatives and energies. These are combined in a sometimes chaotic way, but this anarchic individualism pays off. For more of a general overview of the city, read more about Buenos Aires. For some more updated current happenings, read about this city of faded elegance. If you need something a bit more practical, check out Easy Buenos Aires City Info or buenos Aires.com.
