On October 14, 2006, the AGBU Youth Group of Buenos Aires, Argentina held their 6th annual Woodstokian Festival of Armenian bands. The popular event drew a crowd of 500 Argentineans and hundreds of others have watched the performances online at the hugely popular video sharing website, YouTube. Last year's Woodstokian concert was the first to break into cyberspace when it was made available for viewers through a live video stream on a local website.
Woodstokian 2006 showcased eight up-and-coming bands from Buenos Aires: Tercer Mundo, Pyromania, Double Decker, La Zapada, Imagenes Sueltas, Airan, Viejo Rancio, and Hot Joy. This year’s bands played a mixture of hard, acoustic and soft rock, along with blues and heavy metal.
The music festival is a venue for Armenian Argentinean creative expression and a welcoming environment for all Armenians to gather and socialize. Each year, new bands from across the city request to perform at Woodstokian, and the local AGBU Youth Group only stipulates that the bands that apply have at least one member of Armenian heritage to qualify for inclusion.
The annual Woodstokian concerts are organized by the AGBU Buenos Aires Liga de Jóvenes (Youth Group), which was founded in 1940 and has grown to be an essential component of the thriving city’s AGBU Chapter. The Liga de Jóvenes organizes social, cultural and sporting events for Armenian youth throughout Argentina, and produces the quarterly Spanish-language magazine Generación 3.
