Abstract

The following article aims at offering an approach to the imaginary and the confluence of voices in the Afropisquenian tales included in the book Desde la otra orilla. La voz afrodescendiente (2013) (From the other Side. The Voice of African-descendants). In these voices echo Traditional practices received from their parents, the wisdom of life, the cultural symbolism product of the encounter among the Andes, the Western and the African, as well as the collective memory that has been taking shape with the pass of the time. Despite the brutal material and cultural uprooting suffered by black slaves and freed slaves during the colonial times, this was not an obstacle, on one way or another, for them to get used to the new situation and be able to produce a distinctive culture.
