Maternal thought, affections and emotions in the song “Parto” (2015) by the duo Barone-González

“Parto” is a tango composed and performed by the duo made up of Patricia Barone and Javier González, and is included on their album Complicidad (2015). Based on this song I propose to reflect, from a feminist perspective, on how the concept of motherhood is musically explored in the tango of this century. Starting from the study of feminist theories, I investigate first the history of the duo, its formation, and the compositions that have themes related to "Parto", in articulation with human rights movements. Subsequently, I analyze motherhood in this tango in relation to the political and social moment in which it premieres, which intersects with feminist actions demanding the legalization of abortion and working against gender-based violence. In this sense, I study how art dialogues with the formation of affections, emotions and collective subjectivities and to what extent the object of study is inscribed, from a musical genre such as tango, historically heteronormative and androcentric, in the feminist movement and in the human rights movement as a political act.
