| Sumario: | This article presents the current state of knowledge of afroargentine music based on the author´s ethnographies in the last three decades in the provinces of Corrientes, Chaco, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, Buenos Aires and Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. This update is contrasted with the opinion on the subject hurriedly issued by the orthodox academy, since until the end of the 20th century it affirmed that such music did not exist and neither did those who originated this music: the afro-argentines of the colonial trunk. Such dissociation between reality and story is explained from a theoretical framework that helps to understand silence as a space of power that the aforementioned academy reserved in its study of non-white groups that pre-existed the State, disregarding the scientific method in obedience to the project of the hegemonic groups in power that upheld a "white" Argentina mirroring the European metropolises and the United States of America. |
