Gerónima Sequeida, Amaichaʼs songstress, with her crystalline voice sang to us her sorrows, joys and feelings, beautiful songs accompanied by the sound of her snare drum. Leda Valladares brought it to Buenos Aires, she was the one who discovered her impressive voice so that she would sing at the meeting of the resistance of the movement for the reconstruction of national culture, in 1983, presenting her song at the San Martín theater. She asked me to photograph her, which I did and she was never able to see it, as she died of tuberculosis shortly after. Illiterate, a shepherd in the "every service" service of a landowner from Amaicha del Valle, province of Tucumán, her voice immortalized her, giving him justice in the face of so much suffering she suffered in life.
