Cien años alegrando al Pueblo”: las bandas de pueblo de Girón. Producción de un documental audiovisual de la historia de las bandas de pueblo en el cantón Girón/Azuay

Abstract

The documentary "Cien años alegrando al pueblo: Las bandas de pueblo de Girón" is a project carried out with the aim of showing and encouraging cultural practices that, for various reasons, have been lost in the canton. In Girón there are popular musical groups that date back more than one hundred years of history, therefore, it is important to capture in some way the achievements, recognitions and experiences of those who still remain firm in these institutions. In this project there are interviews with iconic characters in the town gangs of Girón, as well as those who in a certain way have been linked to these activities over time. In the project it is also possible to view a series of files compiled both in video and in photographs that highlight the long journey that the Girón gangs hold. It is important to carry out projects that promote the culture of the peoples and that contribute to the rescue of traditional practices that over time have lost their value.
