Federal Pianists perform at the CCK within the framework of the SUBAN FESTIVAL

The project (@laspianistasfederales) was formed in 2019, and aims to build a space for the dissemination of Argentine and Latin American music from the piano, in confluence with a federal and gender perspective. This meeting is born from the search from the solo piano and also with six hands, as a novel and creative resource projected to the sounds of the different regions of the territories.

“Composers, arrangers and performers, managers, producers and also teachers, feel challenged by the gender perspective and from the constant interaction with the women who listen to them and feel that they are referents in the different facets of their proposal. In the same hierarchy, they also share the concept of Cultural Federalism, convinced of the value of regional cultures, and the importance of their circulation and diffusion”, the pianists affirm.

This proposal, rich and beautiful in its music, regional in artistic and cultural terms, is developed from the stages and in spaces created for the reflective and management encounter, around these three aspects: the artistic work, the gender issue and culture federalism.

From a creative point of view, the project aims to rescue and value a popular repertoire that is partly not very crowded towards these instrumental formats, representative of the unity that speaking of “Argentine music” means beyond the diversity of rhythms. , musical forms and geographies.

Within this proposal, species as diverse as tango, criollo waltz and milonga, style, northern tune, country cueca and mountain song, chamamé, zamba, double strumming, gallops and an air of vidala, joropounited around the same instrument.

“This is our way of expressing artistic federalism, of which the culture of Buenos Aires is a part, in an integrated way to a broader musical and national identity dimension. The inclusion of several female composers allows us to also develop the axis of the creative question linked to the world of women, in a look that is equally inclusive”, they affirm.

The concept of “integration” is also the basis of the reflective axis that will be put into play through the round table and the documentation in text and video that is generated: it is about integrating the musical culture of Buenos Aires and the musical culture of the “interior ” of the country, in the same way that it is intended to integrate the leading role of women as artists and creators into a society made up of citizens of diverse genders, which requires complete equality of possibilities, in a context that demonstrates the need to continue strengthening this idea in the face of the prevailing inequalities still in various fields, including cultural and artistic ones.
