       ¡Buenas tardes bloggies! Guess what? Yours truly will take part of one of the greatest festival of all...IFest!! Yep, the Houston International Festival is a contemporary, multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural outdoor arts festival that annually attracts hundreds of thousands of people to downtown Houston for two weekends every April. The culture of a different country or theme is spotlighted each year and is known for being one of the largest presenters of world music. Encompassing 16 blocks of city parks, plazas and streets, the outdoor event features seven themed entertainment zones celebrating the heritage of various cultures from around the world. In this case, the spotlight is on Argentina!! [ Like my rose? :-) ]  The South American country is known as the  eighth largest in the world by land area and the largest among Spanish-speaking nations. The Argentine culture has significant European influences from the visual arts, architecture, theatre, music and cuisine ( hmmmmm... I guess we, Texans, aren't the only ones who love barbecuing ). If you're in town, tango your way to downtown Houston to experience the latin groove of  Argentina,  April 21-22, and 28-29,  2012. Vamos a bailar?
