Sumario:Between 2007 and 2017 existed in Tucumán, north-western province in Argentina, a cultural bar that became a reference place for the alternative circuit and that since 2009 counted on a place allocated for alive folklore sessions. Given the singularity and relevance of this space for the local and national scene, the purpose of this article is locate this experience as link of a federal history of Argentinean popular culture and articulate an interpretation about the relationships between politics, nation and folklore in the years of Kirchnerism.  Our itinerary is built through three interviews to key-actors of this process: Nancy Pedro -singer, composer and cultural manager-, in the charge of the musical agenda between 2007 and 2015; Ariel Alberto, guitar player and soundman; and Gustavo Moyano, music teacher, guitar player and founder partner in charge of the performance’s lounge of the place. Also, this research counted on testimonies of Juan Falú, Lucho Hoyos and Topo Encinar, well-known artists who used to play there, and of frequent visitors at Casa Managua, besides of consulting newspaper’s news. This experience is analyzed considering the category on “denial of coevalness” developed by Jesús Martín-Barbero and the relationship between music and identity, according to Pablo Vila’s view.
