Summary:

This book examines the life and work of Argentine folk musician Atahualpa Yupanqui, focusing on his literary and musical contributions. It explores Yupanqui's creation of his artistic identity, his transition from the pampas to northern Argentina's folklore, and his influence on Argentine popular culture. The author analyzes Yupanqui's poetry and prose, particularly works like "Piedra sola," "Cerro Bayo," and "El payador perseguido," to deconstruct the artist's self-invented persona and understand the cultural processes that shaped Argentine folklore.
