About this exposition

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.
