Ganyingo: Voces y espiritualidad afroboliviana. Historias, saya, zemba, cueca, huayño, mauchi y la chihuanita

Martín Miguel Ballivián

Cochabamba: Fundación Intercultural Martin Luther King (2018), 300 pp.

"Las expresiones de música y danza afrobolivianas trascienden la folclorización, al son de las “Cajas” (tambores), dónde el “Ganyingo” es el más pequeño y más agudo, y junto al “reque reque” de la Guancha, cargados de cadencia y espiritualidad el pueblo afroboliviano con “La Saya ... ” ha logrado un eje articulador del “Movimiento Afroboliviano” que les ha valido para visibilizar su cultura en un país denominado plurinacional y diverso, pero que resulta esencialista en lo indígena respecto a los discursos constitucionales y la praxis del diario vivir. Existe una indivisibilidad entre la música, el baile, la historia, las vivencias, la lucha por el desarrollo integral, y la reivindicación política del pueblo afroboliviano que cada vez cobra mayor fuerza, y una necesidad aguda de preservar y revitalizar las otras expresiones músico-dancistas; por medio de la investigación y recuperación de la memoria viva del pueblo Afroboliviano, presente en “los tíos y tías” “abuelos abuelas.” [...] El libro fue desarrollado por el Fundación Intercultural Martín Luther King de Bolivia, ganador del “Fondo del Embajador para la Preservación Cultural” de la Embajada de Americana en Bolivia, y que desde el año 2006 promueve el reconocimiento a la lógica cultural afroboliviana y su participación activa dentro del territorio de Bolivia. Abordamos la historiografía de la afrodescendencia en Bolivia, a través de su música, danza y espiritualidad, desde una perspectiva crítica documentada, basada en investigaciones e inquietudes emprendidas desde la lógica “Casa adentro” (desde y para el pueblo Afroboliviano). Esta publicación tiene como finalidad rescatar y revitalizar las músicas y bailes tradicionales afrobolivianos (Saya, Zemba, Huayño negro, Mauchi y la Chihuanita) y busca contrarrestar el peligroso silencio académico y político. Es parte de una estrategia comunicacional que incluyó acciones de reivindicación y empoderamiento del pueblo afroboliviano como: conferencias, simposios, talleres, publicaciones e incidencia en medios masivos de comunicación desarrollados en el periodo del 2015-2017, que culmina con la producción de un video documental."
