LATITUD 35º SUR PROJECT

In parallel with the 9th WORLD SYMPOSIUM ON CHORAL MUSIC
International Federation of Choral Music (IFCC)
PUERTO MADRYN, CHUBUT – Patagonia Argentina – 3rd to 7th August, 2011

MUSICAL HERITAGE, CREATION, AND RESEARCH
 AFRICA – AMERICAS – AUSTRALASIA

Latitude 35° South is a space for creation and multidisciplinary research in which there converge musical creation, instrumental practice, native lutherie (including the manufacture of instruments no longer in use) along with iconography (mask manufacturing and mise-en-scene).

The main objectives of this project are:

• To become a space for reflection on what to be an artist in these latitudes means by emphasising “a being and doing” rooted in their own geoculture.
• To develop and spread a new model of creation in which elements related to the fields of science, art and Tradition come together–making dispersed elements that have generated a breach with our cultural heritage–converge.
• To bridge the gap (inherited from a certain belated conception in the History of Music) between composer and performer, non-existent in indigenous Cultures.
• To grant indigenous instruments the same ontological dignity as to instruments inherited from the European tradition and those developed by digital technology.

Latitude 35 Degrees South was inaugurated in the month of February 2010 in Kerikeri, New Zealand, during the celebration of the Bay of Islands Festival in the ancient Maori Region. Concerts, round-tables, and workshops were held as well as artistic meetings with the Maori Communities of the Northlands.

The second event was held in June 2010 in the ancient Zulu Kingdom in South Africa. Several concerts as well as an academic Conference with scholars from different institutions were organised at the campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, in Durban.

The third event will take place in August 2011 along the 9th World Symposium on Choral Music in Puerto Madryn, nowadays Province of Chubut (ancient Mapuche Region), Argentina. There will be concerts, lectures as well as workshops. The active participation of the Mapuche Community will be central to this event.

Furthermore, the Festival will go alongside the Meeting of Delegations from the countries members in the Music Council of the Three Americas as well as the one of the Net of Musical Research and Creation of the Americas (RICMA). In the past, Meetings of the Net RICMA (whose members belong to higher Music Education Institutions across the Americas and Europe) were held in Chile, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina.

NETWORK FOR RESEARCH AND MUSICAL CREATION IN THE AMERICAS

The creation of the RICMA Net took place in Santiago de Chile at a meeting organized by the Foreign Relations Ministry of France in 2005. Its founder members were the Paris Conservatory (France), the Catholic University of Chile, the State University of Campinas (Brasil), the National University at Tres de Febrero (Argentina), the National Conservatory of Lima (Perú), the Institute of Higher Education (Paraguay), the National Conservatory of Ecuador, the University Loyola of La Paz (Bolivia) and the Lille University (France).

The main axis of RICMA are:

1. The creation of new academic musical curriculas enrooted socially and culturally in the reality of the Americas.
2. The domains of Ethnomusicology, interpretation, composition and new technologies as major fields of action in order to build a cooperational Project throughout the Continent.
3. The development of a new profile of musicians for the upcoming times.
4. The empowerment of the local, regional and international cultural policies towards music.
5. The building of Research Centers on Traditional native instruments of the Continent.

This ongoing work has already given birth to several Meetings that have taken place at the Titicaca Lake, La Paz y Tiahuanaco (Bolivia), Santiago (Chile), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Campinas (Brazil), with the participation of composers, instrumentalists and theoreticians from the Americas, Australasia, Africa and Europe.
The Net has given rise, among others, to the creation of the first international Music Program of the Foreign Relations Ministry of France and Latinamerica (PREFALC). This Project is titled “Research, Creation and musical Patrimonie in Latinamerica” joins the efforts of the Postgraduate Departments of the Paris Conservatory, the Lille University in France, the National Music Center of Chile, the University of Chile, the State University of Campinas in Brazil and the National University at Tres de Febrero of Argentina.
