Martí Audio, under the direction of Ariel Martí was in charge of the installation and handling of the PA, comprised of 18 Aero 48 systems. The impressive low frequency reproduction was achieved by using 16 units of the new LX-218 for bass reinforcement. As front-fill, two Aero 28 systems were installed to provide coverage for the first rows.
Given the large audience, Marti also set up eight array systems as down-fill, as well as the same amount for the out-fill - in order to provide a complete coverage for the audience at the sides of the stage. On stage, Compact 2 systems were used as side-fill with 10 SML-15A enclosures taking care of the stage monitoring, providing a uniform sound quality for the entire performance area.
This folk music festival, organized by the Club Atlético Central Córdoba, brought together the best known national folk stars such as Soledad Pastorutti. Also on stage were Chaqueño Palavecino, Sergio Galleguillo, and Los Amigos - closing the festival. Homage was paid to the Tucuman band Los Tucu, as well as to Atahualpa Yupanqui, the well known Argentinean song writer - after whom this festival has been named.
