Within the framework of the National Payador and Payadora Day, the first "National Payadoras Meeting" will be held on Saturday, July 30, at 6:00 p.m., at the House of Culture, Arts and Sciences, Violeta Parra, in the commune of Cerro Navia.The event comes to value the work of women payadoras from Chile around the tradition of Canto a lo Poeta, in a predominantly male traditional space, demonstrating its validity and establishing ties between the female worshipers that allow projecting future work.Payadoras Cecilia Astorga, Ruth Barrales, María Antonieta Contreras, La Charavilla, Emma Madariaga, La Perdiz Isidora, Cami Rojas Torres, Valentina Isidora, Caro López La Revoltosa, Miriam Arancibia and Javiera Buzeta will be present.In addition, the day will feature the presence of the chinchinera Olga Carrasco and the animation of the artist Daniela Meza.This tradition was named Cultural Heritage of Mercosur only a few years ago, an institution that highlighted that the Chilean Paya, unlike other traditions of the Latin American tenth, manages to adapt to different contexts, since it is not only a manifestation of rural space but also develops in the urban area.For Cami Rojas Torres, payadora and creator of the meeting, "this project provides a space for making work visible, but also for us to meet, articulating a fluid dialogue between different generations and different cultures, which come from different parts of Chile."Meanwhile, for the Chilean teacher and payadora, Cecilia Astorga, “the meeting comes to crown a job that has been super powerful for the last 5 years, during the pandemic as well.Virtuality greatly supported the gestation of new payadoras”.The first "National Payadoras Meeting" is a project financed by the Fondart Regional, call 2022 of the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage.Coordinates: Saturday, July 30, 6:00 p.m. House of Culture, Arts and Sciences, Violeta Parra Cerro Navia |Mapocho 7360 Facebook: @versosdeidayvuelta Instagram: @versosdeidayvuelta The Meeting will also be broadcast live on the Versos de Ida y Vuelta fanpageTo attend the first National Meeting of Payadoras (Saturday, July 30), registration is done HERE.
