CineClub Azúcar presents:

PICÓ: Un parlante de Africa en America.

A film by Invernomuto & Jim C. Nedd, 2020.

Join us on Sunday, 23rd March at 6 PM for the second installment of CineClub Azúcar, a space to watch and discuss cinema and moving-image works from Abya Yala. This month, we’ll be watching PICO: Un parlante de África en América.

Filmed in 2017, the documentary follows the woodworkers, technicians, and craftsmen who assemble and maintain the tradition of picós, vividly decorated sound systems that animate street parties in the Costa Atlántica region of Colombia.

The history of picós can be traced back to the 1960s, yet their roots run deeper, originating from the time of the transatlantic slave trade when coastal cities like Barranquilla and Cartagena served as key access points. The film traces the origins of this transatlantic sonic style inland to a village called Palenque, founded in the 1590s by West Africans who escaped slavery, still inhabited by their descendants, and where new aesthetic and sonic styles were developed.

Hot food is available from 18:00.

The film starts at 18:30.

£4 entry / No one turned away for lack of funds.

CineClub Azúcar presenta:

PICÓ: Un parlante de África en América.

Una película de Invernomuto & Jim C. Nedd, 2020.

Únete a nosotros el domingo 23 de marzo a las 6 PM para la segunda entrega de CineClub Azúcar, un espacio para ver y discutir cine y obras audiovisuales de Abya Yala. Este mes veremos PICO: Un parlante de África en América.

Filmado en 2017, el documental sigue a los carpinteros, técnicos y artesanos que ensamblan y mantienen la tradición de los picós, sistemas de sonido profusamente decorados que animan las fiestas callejeras en la región de la Costa Atlántica en Colombia.

La historia de los picós se remonta a la década de 1960, pero sus raíces son más profundas, originándose en la época de la trata transatlántica de esclavos, cuando ciudades costeras como Barranquilla y Cartagena jugaron un papel central como puntos clave en la trata. La película rastrea los orígenes de este estilo sonoro transatlántico hacia el interior, hasta un pueblo llamado Palenque, fundado en la década de 1590 por africanos occidentales que escaparon de la esclavitud, que aún es habitado por sus descendientes, y donde se desarrollaron nuevos estilos estéticos y sonoros.

Comida caliente disponible desde las 18:00.

La película comienza a las 18:30.

Entrada £4 / Nadie será rechazado por falta de fondos.

CineClub Azúcar apresenta:

PICÓ: Un parlante de África en América.

Um filme de Invernomuto & Jim C. Nedd, 2020.

Vem com a gente domingo, 23 de março, às 18:00, para a segunda edição do CineClub Azúcar, um espaço para assistir e discutir o cinema e obras de imagens em movimento de Abya Yala. Este mês assistiremos a PICÓ: Un parlante de África en América.

O documentário de 2017, segue carpinteiros, técnicos e artesãos que criam e mantêm a tradição dos picós: sistemas de som muito bem decorados que animam as festas de rua do Caribe colombiano.

A história dos picós pode ser rastreada até a década de 1960, mas suas raízes são ainda mais profundas, originando na época do tráfico transatlântico de escravos, quando cidades litorâneas como Barranquilla e Cartagena faziam um papel importante como pontos centrais desse comércio.

O filme segue as origens desse estilo sonoro transatlântico para o interior, até um vilarejo chamado Palenque, fundado na década de 1590 por africanos ocidentais que se escaparam da escravidão, ainda habitado por seus descendentes, e onde novos estilos estéticos e sonoros foram desenvolvidos.

Comida quente disponível a partir das 18:00.
O filme começa às 18:30.

Entrada £4 / ninguém será recusado por falta de fundos.
