Trío Garupá and the work of Ramón Ayala: the chamamé and why there is no separation between music and daily life

The Argentinian music group Trío Garupá emphasizes the deep cultural connection of chamamé music to daily life as they celebrate the work of Ramón Ayala during their upcoming tour.

Trío Garupá, consisting of Homero Chiavarino, Joel Tortul, and Julián Venegas, is on a mission to honor the legacy of Ramón Ayala, a significant figure in chamamé music. Their upcoming tour coincides with the anniversary of Ayala's birth, and will kick off in March in Buenos Aires, followed by performances in La Plata, Rosario, and Córdoba. The trio's latest album, 'El viejo río que va,' highlights the cultural roots and historical influences of chamamé.

In an interview, Chiavarino remarked that chamamé represents more than just music; it encapsulates a lifestyle intertwined with the culture, landscape, and everyday existence of the people in the region. This unique genre reflects a strong bond to one's roots while simultaneously fostering a narrative that pushes cultural boundaries forward. The tour is a celebration not just of music but of the identity and values inherent in Argentinian society.

As Trío Garupá prepares to take their music across various cities, they invite audiences to explore the essence of chamamé and its significance in today’s world. This exploration includes how music can serve as a vessel for cultural expression and a means of connecting past traditions with contemporary life, showcasing the continuity of cultural identities through the art form.
