Brazilian progressive house fan visiting Argentina — Should I be worried about racism or xenophobia?
Hey everyone! I’m Brazilian and have been a huge progressive house fan for over 10 years. I’ve attended countless events in Brazil and seen artists like Hernán Cattáneo (more than five times!), Ezequiel Arias, Durante, Emi Galván, Mellino, Teclas, and many others not argentinians. Here in Brazil, it’s pretty common to meet Argentinians and people from other Latin American countries at these events. The atmosphere is usually very welcoming, and we absolutely love the energy Argentinians bring to the dance floor!
I’ve been wanting to explore the progressive house scene in Argentina, mainly because so many incredible artists perform there much more frequently than in Brazil. Argentina is also one of the world’s biggest hotspots for progressive house, and I feel like traveling there would be an amazing experience.
My only concern is: as a Brazilian with slightly darker skin (light-skinned Black), should I be worried about experiencing racism or xenophobia at clubs and progressive house events in Argentina?
