The term Pregones is a Spanish word meaning street vendors or town criers. This oral tradition that goes back to colonial times in Latin America, will be the main focus of the event. Before there was mass media, the pregón was the tool used to announce the news and to commercialize products. This tradition evolved to influence art and music becoming a powerful and dynamic tool for collective resistance.
