No ámbito do Cauca
On his return to his Galician homeland, the poet and storyteller Antón Avilés de Taramancos (1935-1992) sees the parallel stories of his life in Colombia and the history of the American continent intermingled. The uneasiness of a new world and the terror of colonisation and subsequent slavery give way to peace in the city where all the ingredients blend together (European, African, Amerindian) and, finally, integration in the ecstasy of dance. After his death, around a sidereal oak tree, the sounds of the two continents come together.
