| Sumario: | On April 29, 2003, the waters of the Salado River entered the city of Santa Fe (Argentina), through an unfinished stretch of embankment that paradoxically had already been inaugurated. The flooding affected more than 150 000 people, a third of the city's population. This tragedy occurred shortly after the social, political and economic crisis that shook the country in 2001. Throughout these 20 years the region generated artistic productions of all kinds about this flood. The song was one of the predominant productions that channeled individual and collective pain to become a musical memory that updates the events. The local repertoire that was developed addresses a wide range of genres and social sectors, questioned by a common cause and memory.
Within the framework of the CAI+D 2020 research and development project of the Instituto Superior de Música de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral: «Creative processes in Argentine popular song: composition, arrangement, version and interpretation», we study popular song as a phenomenon communication that constitutes an emergent of specific production conditions and time-place coordinates. From this approach, we carried out a survey and analysis of the repertoire of the songs that were produced from 2003 to the present about the flood in Santa Fe. We propose to study the different ways to keep the memory of the events alive, process the pain, denounce the impunity of the political leaders or the absence of the state to assist the victims and tell the stories of the protagonists. |
