Publisher's Synopsis
As administrators of the knowledge that structures the Afro-Pacific epistemology, the women of the Marimba music transmit in the communities of the Colombian Pacific the cultural codes of the ancestors who populated these territories rich in biodiversity, and where societies of free blacks were born on the banks of isolated rivers. The marimba is gestated between the memory of sentimental sonorities, the rhythmic dialogues of the music of the indigenous people who inhabited these territories and the materials offered by the Chocoan jungle. Generation after generation, women have codified in the affections of societies and their cultural manifestations those airs of freedom, persistence and resistance.
