Jeporeka Project

Musical Encounter

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Jeporeka is a project of Berta Rojas in favor of musical creation in Paraguay. It is a virtual musical meeting that, in its first edition (2020), provides learning spaces in the field of COMPOSITION and ARRANGEMENTS, in charge of the Argentine teachers Popi Spatocco and Carlos “Negro” Aguirre. The artistic direction is in charge of Pinchi Cardozo Ocampo.

The participants of the 2020 edition, chosen through an online contest, were awarded full scholarships that allowed them to access online classes with the outstanding teachers from the neighboring country, as well as to enjoy conferences, group work, presentations and individual classes in a virtual format. The course lasted 6 days, divided into two weekends in July 2020.


The final result of this project was the composition and recording of a collective musical work, consisting of 10 micro-pieces, composed by each of the participants. This work represented a plural reflection on these times that challenge us and a sign of collective construction through music.

Dates

The meetings were held from July 10 to 19, 2020.

Week 1 of the meeting: July 10-12, 2020

Lecture Series on being Paraguayan : July 10-19, 2020

Week 2 of the meeting: July 17-19, 2020

To whom we address

The project in its 2020 edition was aimed at young Paraguayan and foreign composers and arrangers residing in the country; young people capable of transmitting together the feeling of a youth that feels and transforms itself for the better, working as a team with empathy, solidarity, collaboration, and belonging. The result of this meeting was returned to society in the form of inspiration made music, "Pytũ Mimbi", Brightness in the darkness, as a faithful testimony of this time that is nothing but a search for self-improvement and a revaluation of the meaning of life itself.

That is why our slogan: Jarekómavagui ikatúva jarekópe / From the present, to the future
