Abstract
Tradition and Gender: A story about rhythm, symbols and women. This presentation is about Candombe cultural experience in Uruguay from a female perspective. The content comes from the research done during the past year and the interaction and conversations with women that have been raised and are part of the core of Candombe tradition. I explored Global Jazz concepts and put them in dialogue with the influences and inspiration I got from this tradition. There is a difference that must be pointed out: within being a woman it is not the same to be latina, indigenous, black or white, afro latina, etc. Because I want to address the difference I wrote this music and try to evoke the sense of unity rather than division. A call to make ourselves strong coming together.
