- Abstract
This research paper examines the music/text relationship and the incorporation of the 'feminine voice' in the work of Cristina Fernández and Washington Carrasco. Integrated in 1976, and belonging to the second generation of the Canto Popular Uruguayo (CPU, 1973-1985), the duo is recognized for the continued presence of poems in their repertoire. Their interpretation of "Canto de Madre" (Juan Zorrilla de San Martín) affirms a desire to "work with the word" in a creative process of identity-making by integrating the enunciating feminine voice as a topos, cultural historical marker and agent of change within the larger phenomenon of the CPU. The poetry set to music in Uruguay after 1960 and the specific poem in question reveal the way the poem in song rearticulates notions of identity in a constant questioning, in terms of Julia Kristeva's concepts of 'revolt' and what is possible through revolution in poetic language.
