The 7 Best Jazz Clubs & Bars in Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

For more than two decades, Notorious has became the main jazz spot in Buenos Aires. At 100 meters away from the traditional corner of Callao y Santa Fe, Notorious has the perfect combination of music and gastronomy, gathering at the same place a specialized records store, a bar, a restaurant and the venue with a beautiful garden. The main musicians from many different styles and countries have played there leaving at the air his magic and charm.

Notorious is a Brazilian/world music venue posing as a record store in the heart of Buenos Aires (Santa Fe and Callao). We bought tickets in the afternoon and returned at nine for bossa nova, a re-creation of the album by Vinucius de Moraes, “La Fusa,” originally produced by Victor, the club’s owner. Dinner was satisfying (exceeding the quality you would normally find in US jazz venues). I think we were the only Americans in the place. Our waiters were muy amabile, and the musicians connected with the audience in the intimate space. After the show Victor introduced us to singer Josi Dias. Then we found out about the 12:30 show, a band called Nube 9, founded by eminent Beatles scholar Fernando Blanco and his ace guitarist partner Lucrecia López Sanz. Two and a half hours later we and the Argentine audience were shutting the place down singing “Hey Jude.” Best club experience we have had in the past 20 years.
