For this, they had to create brotherhoods in honor of San Baltazar or San Benito de Palermo. In 1994, in the city of Corrientes (Argentina), San Baltazar brotherhood was refounded to publicly honor him every January 5 and 6 in the Camba Cuá neighborhood, turning the public space into the scene of two artistic-religious performances called “Salute to the saints of the neighborhood” and “Torch Procession”.

And, in this way, realize the important role that drums and percussionists have in establishing and transforming space-time from public/everyday to sacred during artistic-religious performances. La festividad de San Baltazar surge en el Virreinato del Río de la Plata (siglo XVII), cuando la Iglesia católica y los grupos de poder ofrecen a esclavizados africanos un permiso para ejecutar músicas y danzas originarias sin ser castigados. Para esto, ellos debían crear cofradías en honor a San Baltazar o San Benito de Palermo. En 1994, en la ciudad de Corrientes (Argentina) se refundó la cofradía de San Baltazar para homenajearlo de forma pública cada 5 y 6 de enero, en el barrio Camba Cuá ("cueva de negros" en guaraní), convirtiendo el espacio público en escenario de dos performance artístico-religiosas denominadas Saludo a los santos del barrio y Procesión de las antorchas. Tomando en cuenta lo observado, entrevistado y registrado de forma fotográfica y audiovisualmente entre las ediciones 2016 y 2020, este artículo tiene como objetivo comprender, a partir de la descripción de las performances artístico-religiosas, cómo se transforma de espacio público a espacio sagrado. Y, de esta forma, dar cuenta del rol importante que tienen los tambores y percusionistas para establecer y transformar el espacio-tiempo público/cotidiano a sagrado durante las performances artístico-religiosas.
