The Arequipa poet Gamaliel Churata, generated an-Indo-American cultural project that crossed several geographies such as southern Perú, the city of La Paz in Bolivia and Buenos Aires. His poetic career has several moments (Mamani Macedo, 2013, pp. 22-50). In this case, we take the Andean in which we locate the collection of poems in question, which is curious and novel for the topics it develops and the heterogeneous language used that seems to combine linguistic forms of Spanish with the "runasimi" or creating neologisms that can lead to a "poetic cosmology" (Lienhard, 1996, pp. 353-367). The Churatian aesthetic addresses the perception and production of sound, animism and interactions between humans and non-humans and encourages us to question the role of the figure of the mermaid within the whole, of song and music, and the tanatic conception that the author handles and whose references in different poems do not have a tragic tone.
