- SYNOPSIS: A researcher takes a tour of the Province of Córdoba, interviewing historians, ethnologists, anthropologists, and some brave elders with memories about the African roots in the place. A Province that had more than 50% of the Afro population around 1850. Surprisingly, or not, for more than 400 years, in the Río de la Plata region (a part of which is today Argentina), any participation, any contribution from the African population was denied. In the Province of Córdoba the names of certain towns mark the traces of what happened, although there are no documents as to the reason for those names, such as: Arroyo Macongo, town of Tulumba, Candonga, Cabinda, Cabalango. The enslaved African population, coming from various parts of the African continent, with different languages and customs, transported enormous cultural wealth to the continent of America. But this was also denied and softened by the ruling Creole. Here in this film, clear testimonies of this reality are found so that they come to light and can be a defense of the work left by men and women from different regions of Africa. From the slave route to the legacy of customs, words, traditions and African art that was marked in the imprint of Córdoba society to the present day, passing through the sad path of invisibility and trying to build a white Córdoba just as it was rest of Argentina, this cultural rescue is intended in which surprising facts and links about the reality of the past and present will be discovered.
