Cherie Magnus has done any kind of dancing you can name, but has been dedicated to tango since moving here to Buenos Aires in 2003, and was the only foreigner to get beyond the semi-finals in 2006′s Campeonato de Tango.

In light of the month-long celebration of Peruvian culture in Buenos Aires, Peruba, the Argentina Independent chose to interview a Peruvian expat for our BA lives section.

Having been in Buenos Aires for over a year and spotted a gap in the market, at the end of last year Anna Templeton launched Au Pair in Argentina, an au pairing agency aimed at connecting parents with those wanting to come to the country and spend time working with children. The Argentina Independent talked to her and discussed her experiences setting up a business in Argentina.

The 1060s are a band of ex-pats that have been garnering attention since they started gigging around San Telmo and Palermo at the end of last year. They play a mixture of genres from indie and rock to electro and soul. Liverpudlian singer and guitarist, Benny Dunphy met with the Argentina Independent to tell us a little bit more about how Buenos Aires helped form his band.
