Producción sonora sobre la importancia del carnaval de negros y blancos de la ´Ciudad Sorpresa´, Pasto.

Abstract

The project “Sound Production on the Importance of the Carnival of Blacks and Whites of Pasto” aimed to compile and systematize stories and memories that highlight the historical, cultural, and social value of this festival, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Through a series of sound narratives, the project seeks to preserve the essence of the carnival, give visibility to its protagonists—artisans, musicians, and organizers—and strengthen the sense of identity of the Pasto community. The project is particularly relevant in the face of globalization and youth disinterest that threaten traditions, using sound production as a cultural tool to promote social awareness, strengthen community cohesion, and keep alive the legacy of the Carnival of Blacks and Whites as a symbol of resistance and collective heritage.
