Voces negras,
voces de paz

2021-2023, Colombia

The podcast narrates the sound memory of peace in the Afro-Colombian, Black, Raizal and Palenquero Caribbean in the voice of Mili Pardo. Touring the marshes of central and southern Cesar is always a pleasure, but even more so for us to tell the stories behind the cantao's dances, local culture, biodiversity, women who mark the cultural route and how these black territories continue to bet for peace with art and culture.

In this project, I did all the branding, illustrations, from the the logo design, and the covers of each episode. Project here → Youtube Channel 

Episodes

Episode 1

Why is it important to protect the largest and most important freshwater mirror in Latin America and who is doing it?

Episode 2

Chaulo's children and their musical and cultural seedbed continue to affirm the cantao dances, the tambora tradition and the handcrafted manufacture of drums, reviving the Rian musical tradition.

Episode 3

The cantao dances travel down the Magdalena River, and El Chandé has been in charge for 38 years of continuing that ancestral musical journey from Gamarra, the island surrounded by marshes and river.

Episode 4

Vallenato has gone around the world, but its inventors, the Vallenato minstrels, were black Palenquero men. Why has this genre not been widely recognized as part of the black musical and ancestral legacy of the region of Cesar and La Guajira?

Episode 5

Asokusuto.org continues its legacy of service to the black, Afro-Colombian, and Palenquero communities of Cesar. On this occasion, we talked about the strengthening of two community councils in the north of Valledupar.
