We continue to present a series of Binaural Radio Rural podcast that is part of the Creative Europe funded project, Tramontana Network, which consists in a cooperation between eleven mountain-based cultural organizations from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Romania, Poland and Albania that all work in the intersection between ethnographic research and contemporary artistic practices.
Throughout the episodes of this podcast series we are creatively addressing rural-based subjects like agropastoralism, transhumance, water manifestations and symbologies, social change and its impact on landscape and food production and consumption, the Ukrainian migration to rural areas in Europe and more.
“Around the river Bend” is a sound piece by Binaural Nodar’s director Rui Costa that was composed from a variety of sound sources and compositions created for or recorded at Paivascapes - Paiva River Sound Festival. This festival took place between March 4th and 8th of 2011 in various locations along the Paiva River, in Center Portugal, and included a program of sound installations, performances, video screenings and conferences dedicated to the exploration of riverside locations and communities through sound and multimedia art.
Following Patrick McGingleys's invitation to dedicate one of his Framework radio shows to the festival, Binaural Nodar asked everyone that was part of Paivascapes to send a sound excerpt related in some way to the festival. The resulting piece features a variety of locations, times of day, seasons, and contexts including recordings of the festival performances, source material collected by the artists for their sound and audiovisual installations, sound clips included in Binaural Nodar Digital Archive, spontaneous recordings of social gatherings during the festival, and improvisations made by children inspired by the river soundscapes or by the names of the places where the festival happened.
The resulting work offered an aural window into a unique experience and, in a certain way, serves as a metaphoric tribute to this unique spatial-temporal context that imagined river with a thousand voices.

Portugueses no Uruguai: A esperança da grande viagem
Continuamos com a série do Binaural Radio Rural intitulada Portugueses no Uruguai, composta por três episodios criados a partir de una serie de entrevistas realizadas pela antropóloga Ana Rodríguez no ano de 2022 con portugueses e descendentes de portugueses que vivem ou viveram en zonas urbanas e rurais do Departamento de Montevideo no Uruguay.
A mesma história repetiu-se tantas vezes. Ao longo do século XX, com especial incidência a partir dos anos 50, milhões de portugueses emigraram para distintas partes do mundo, escapando a um país pobre e a um regime político anti-democrático e persecutório. A maioria emigrou para países europeus como a França e a Alemanha, mas muitos escolheram vários países da América do Norte, Central e do Sul, naqueles anos considerado o continente de oportunidades por excelência. Aconteceram vagas de emigração muito expressivas para o Estados Unidos, o Brasil, o Canadá e a Venezuela, tendo alguns rumado mais a sul, para a Argentina e para o Uruguai. Aquelas famílias que chegaram ao porto de Montevideu, depararam-se com um novo mundo incógnito, em que a dificuldade de não falarem o espanhol constituiu um primeiro obstáculo, superado posteriormente ao longo dos anos. Esta gente distribuiu-se por muitas atividades, entre o trabalho no campo, a limpeza de casas ou de jardins, o trabalho fabril em fábricas de massas ou de rolhas e também atividades artesanais como a costura ou de comércio, como a restauração.
Depois de, no primeiro episódio desta série, termos acompanhado a vida das famílias nos lugares de origem portugueses, antes da emigração, desta vez vamos escutar um fluxo de pequenos relatos que abordam as razões da emigração para o Uruguai, as atribulações da longa viagem de barco e as dificuldades encontradas ao chegar a um novo país distante. Esta narrativa coletiva termina com uma emocionante leitura de uma carta trocada entre dois irmãos, um a viver em Portugal e outro no Uruguai, sendo a filha deste último que lê a carta. Pelo meio escutaremos paisagens sonoras evocadoras dos dos ambientes rurais de origem destas pessoas, da viagem transoceânica e de vários contextos do Uruguai.
A equipa do projeto agradece a participação neste ciclo de episódios de Arminda dos Santos Leite, María Concepción Ferreira Dias, Antonio Bruno Ferreira Dias, Graciela María Airaldo, Juan Manuel Ferreira Dias, José Mateus Pinho, Lucilia Moura, Domingos da Silva Cabeleira, Antonio Pires, Leonardo Pires Benlian, Raquel Domínguez Sciara, Jorge de Queiroz e José Manuel Rodrígues Alves, bem como o apoio permanente da Comissão Diretiva da Casa de Portugal em Montevidéu.
Agradecimentos adicionais a Pato Pintos e a Alejandro Herrera.
