- Synopsis
- Songs are the most primary means of communication we have as a species. Even before language was developed, the declaration of feelings and desires was always expressed through the singing voice. Then the music and the ways of singing were transformed, especially in the cities, through the development of various genres with new musical codes and standards. However, there are strong connections between modern songs from large cities and ancestral music, located in deep Latin America. Taking as a trigger the recording made by the compiler and musicologist Leda Valladares in 1930 and her subsequent link with rockers such as Fito Paez, Pedro Aznar and Gustavo Cerati, among others, we will embark on a journey of sound discovery, in search of meeting points between singing from the interior of the Argentine valleys and mountains and Rock and Blues developed in one of the rock capitals of the continent, Buenos Aires.
