This time, Bakongo VI opened the week of the Federation in San Miguel del Monte (Buenos Aires). The performance took place on the street in front of the Rancho de Juan Manuel de Rosas, the only building in the restorer of the laws has not been shot down after his defeat at the Battle of Caseros.
After the change of the Guardia del Monte, and the presence of Mr. Mayor of the town, Dr. Raul Carlos Iribarne, Bakongo group provided a spectacle of dance music and Afro-Argentine.
In this performance was a novelty and two debut: the novelty was the premiere of the shirts of the group, an elegant way to make people understand that the person carrying the trunk is Afro-colonial and cultivate our Candombe. The debut was the Jessica (in dance) and Nora (in song), with whom Bakongo brings the number of its members to ten.
For my part, I can only thank you for the opportunity to continue to witness their growth, accompanying them wherever possible to document their experience in the framework of my research project on Afro-Argentine music.
We are happy.
Viva la Santa Federation!
