Overview
- The 66th Festival Nacional de Folklore ran nine nights from January 24 to February 1 at Plaza Próspero Molina’s Atahualpa Yupanqui stage.
- Soledad Pastorutti’s sold‑out anniversary set stretched for hours under persistent rain, opening with a dramatic descent beneath a giant moon and featuring guests Pedro Capó, Teresa Parodi, Nahuel Pennisi, Cazzu and Natalia Pastorutti.
- Following her show and press conference, Pastorutti led a pre‑dawn caravan on a fire truck from the main plaza to Plaza San Martín as fans followed in the downpour.
- Milo J appeared as a surprise guest earlier in the festival, then headlined the final night in his debut on the Cosquín main stage.
- Organizers reported more than 30,000 advance tickets sold, with the finale led by Milo J the most in demand and Soledad’s night close behind, while Pre Cosquín winners and workshops underscored the festival’s role in cultural transmission.
