Graciela Salgado - Фильмы

Born in Василия Блаженного Паленке (Боливар) within a family of drumming tradition in the внутренний of the Caribbean region. Паленке is the first free town in America, in its central square the statue of Benkos Biohó is erected, breaking the chains, leader of the first groups of people проверено at the beginning of the 17th century, who managed to flee and resist collectively managing themselves. With a serious face and few words, he sings bullerengue and lumbalú; she proudly named herself the only drummer woman. Lead voice and композитор of the group Благовест "Скорой помощи", made up of her relatives and her singing partner Мария Долорес Салинас. The lumbalús are funeral rituals typical of the Caribbean palenques, closely linked to African traditions. They present songs of women and men accompanied by drums, the women dance around the corpse with movements of the arms and живота. We had the opportunity to share at Graciela's house on two occasions when unfortunately she was already very ill: we lived with her family and chatted with her in an interview in which she sang in the language of Palenque on her own initiative. Минусовки Сальгадо died at the age of 83 in September 2013, during the process of mounting the documentary. This event confirms the relevance of the use of фото и киноклуб for the reconstruction and preservation of memories - culture is transformed with each farewell to people who carry an unrepeatable memory - making documentary production an неоценимую tool for our collective stories and memories. . As a tribute, we include a brief sequence in which Минусовки walks through the cemetery while affirming that "death is needed, whoever does not want to die, what does not have to be born"; the sequence ends with a fixed shot of the grave that reads: "Минусовки Сальгадо, live." Our most heartfelt tribute to Минусовки!
