Competing in the Latin Grammy with productions of other great exponents such as Leonel García (Past Love), Tato Marenco (Jemas), Nahuel Pennisi (Renacer) and Alejandro Zavala (Vocal), Ancestras de Petrona Martínez is considered an album that transgresses patterns.

“It has been a great honor to be able to participate in the beautiful album of the teacher Petronia Martínez, and a great happiness that it has obtained the Latin Grammy. This album breaks paradigms in the music industry by bringing us the voices of women from the African diaspora connected with rural life and their ancestral memory “, said Mónica Carrillo, poet and specialist in Human Rights of Afro-descendant Populations and member of the LUNDU board of directors.
