Abstract

The following text is the scriptural trace of a performative act, created in 2019, in which I track the origin of cumbia as a song of resistance and its permanence in forms of existence that update ancestral memories that are danced in the street. In the text I resort to sung, written, danced, and whispered voices, all of them stolen, to invoke circles of collective recognition, from liberation, enjoyment, and dance. As a part of this trace, I include a selection of songs to make the reader dance while reading.
