Visitors to last week's two night Cambalache event, that looked to re-create a night out in Buenos Aires in the east of London, could see street art comes to life in front of their eyes.

As part of the event organised by Wines of Argentina, which sold out within hours of tickets going on sale, visitors not only had the chance to sample wines from over 25 Argentinian wineries and their UK importers, they could learn how to dance the Tango, pick up authentic cowboy skills from Argentinian Gauchos and watch Buenos Aires graffiti artists create live street art during the two nights of the event.

Three of Argentina's most respected street artists, P3dro, Pastel and Tester, flew to London to show street art in action by starting new creations from scratch at the beginning of each night.

The results shown here were captured over the second evening by Dominic Crolla of Argentinian wine specialists, Las Bodegas, one of the importers at the event showing its portfolio of wines.

Cambalache looked to re-create the buzz and feel of the St Telmo market famous in Buenos Aires and was held at MC Motors in Dalston, east London on April 30 and May 1.
