Lissi Entre R脙颅os and Joy Logan

In his coming-of-age memoir, El Sosneado, mi pueblo de anta脙卤o (2013), well-known music and folklore educator from Mendoza, Argentina, Antonio Entre R脙颅os, chronicles the life of the puesteros, the small ranchers who made their living by moving their herds, as well as their homes, to high Andean pastures in the summer and returning to lower elevations in the winter. Entre R脙颅os (1928-2013) recalls his childhood in the 1930s and describes his initiation, as a young boy, into the world of ranching, seasonal travel, and climatic disasters. For Entre R脙颅os, the puesteros are the last heirs of the gaucho traditions, and for them, home and identity are based on their relationship with nature and the land.

Lissi Entre R脙颅os, the author芒鈧劉s daughter, is the former dean and professor of dance at IFC Artes, Mendoza, Argentina, and currently at UHM to participate in the seven-week program, 芒鈧揂rgentina in Hawai芒鈧劉i芒鈧.
