Throughout my career, my work has been dedicated to incorporating aspects of Argentine traditional and popular music along with those of Western Classical Music, Jazz, Northern and Sub-Saharan African music, Argentine Rock, and Pop. In the case of this research, I continued and deepened the work I started more than ten years ago with my project Dingungu, which focused on highlighting the African presence within Argentine music. Although the album had a great component of historical research, I did not have the tools to articulate it into academic writing, which was added to the fact that Afro-Argentine history was and still is a difficult area of study, facing backlash and ideology-related omission throughout Argentine academic and political history. This project of artistic research has allowed me to conduct a thorough exploration of this aspect of the cultural and historical identity of the country while providing inspiration to compose, arrange, and record six new pieces of music.
