To mark Argentine National Anthem Day, leaders of Indigenous Peoples, together with the Ministry of Human Rights, presented versions of the anthem in the Quechua and Guaraní languages in the province of Jujuy. In addition, the recordings are publicly available, and the audio files can be accessed via a QR code, allowing listeners to hear the anthems performed in both languages.
At the presentation ceremony, the anthem was performed by the Provincial School of Music Orchestra and members of the indigenous communities, who sang the verses in the Quechua and Guaraní languages.
In addition, a plaque was presented in recognition of the cross-sectoral team responsible for translating and recording the anthem in those languages.
The goal of the new versions of the national anthem is to promote the languages of the indigenous peoples of the province of Jujuy, in order to reaffirm opportunities for participation,
to strengthen their identity and promote the full exercise of their rights and all forms of expression.
In this regard, “translating the National Anthem into the languages of our indigenous communities strengthens our culture as a people and helps us keep alive the ancestral languages that express a way of feeling, thinking, and acting in harmony with nature,” said Minister of Human Development Natalia Sarapura.
