Argentalk: Stories in Argentine Spanish
In this episode, we travel to the heart of Northwest Argentina to explore what still remains of the Indigenous cultures that existed long before the Spanish arrived. You’ll discover how Quechua (and other Indigenous languages) quietly shaped everyday Argentine Spanish—plus the ancestral traditions that are still part of daily life in places like Salta, Jujuy, and Tucumán. From the Pucará de Tilcara to the Quilmes ruins, we’ll dig into history, living customs, and an Andean worldview that’s still very much present in Argentina today.
Stay until the end—you might be surprised by how deeply these cultures continue to shape Argentine identity. The episode is entirely in Argentine Spanish.
