The city of Charata has been selected to host the Pre Laborde Chaco festival on September 5 and 6. Organized by the Chaco Institute of Culture and the Municipality of Charata, the event serves as a qualifying competition for artists to represent the province at the National Malambo Festival in Laborde, Córdoba.

This marks the first time the qualifying instance will be held in the southwest region of the province. Local authorities stated that moving the event to this region aims to facilitate participation from local artists and promote a “more federal approach to cultural distribution.” The festival will feature competitions in malambo, dance, music, and recitation, with registration open until August 25.
