The Project "Support to the Afro-Argentine population and Grassroots Organizations" is part of this challenge is to contribute to the visibility of the black population and the recognition of their contributions in shaping the nation-state. The project, managed by the Mutual Aid Society "UNION Cape Verdean" (founded on August 13, 1932), arose from the need for coordinated actions and specific articulated among various organizations and individuals for the promotion and redefinitions of collective afro to reverse the secular process of denial, marginalization and racism that has been subjected. In this sense, the album caps a series of activities ranging from lectures and seminars on African culture, African American and Afro-Argentine, ethnic health workshops, training and job placement for youth up photo shoots, educational videos, distribution of literature and festivals ARGENTINA such as BLACK I - IIcuyos artists and musicians were summoned to this ocasión.Por these reasons, we believe that this studio album will be a pioneer in form and scope, both the quality and variety of artistic registration. Composed of seventeen songs is accompanied by a documentary that describes details of backstage and tell, with the voice of their people, experiences and personal stories of the musicians in the very process of realization. We find it important to note that the peculiarity of this production is taking part in it and descendants of African musicians: Cape Verde, Guinea-Conakry, Senegal, South Africa, Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, and Afro-Argentinean. Therefore, listeners can enjoy the variety of sounds and melodies offered by each region with the uniqueness of being entirely produced and performed in the city of Buenos Aires with Argentine professional musicians. Participating groups are (in alphabetical order): "Afrika Semb. "Banakabu" (Senegal). "Bayaka" (Afro-Cuban). "Liana" (Afro-Ecuadorian). "Emanuel Ntako" (South African / Argentinian). "La Familia" (Candombe Argentina). "The Ugly" (Cape Verdean). "Luis Mina" (Afroperuano). "Stella Delphino (Brazilian). The initiative came from Emanuel Ntako, musician-producer in Argentina of South African origin, who in 2007 after sharing the stage with many African musicians proposed holding an album that gently combine all the beauty of his melodies and, thus, the artists could disseminate their work and win a space, even denied. Immediately, the idea generated an important echo among those who, from different angles, constantly struggling to regain lost social space. After successive meetings with the support of Miriam Gomez, got a grant for production given by the English Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECI).
