Producto radiofónico de cuentos, mitos, leyendas y poemas adaptados para la reconstrucción de la memoria histórica oral del pueblo afroecuatoriano de la provincia de Esmeraldas

Abstract

The media are the direct authors of the shaping of behaviors of individuals. In this context, radio is the means of communication that offers the highest degree of participation to the audiences and is quite affordable for all social classes, therefore, it is the most appropriate means to recreate and relieve the importance of the oral tradition of a community. The objective of this work is to compact a product that contains a series of eight traditional narratives from the province of Esmeraldas. This document is made as a response to the need to revitalize the historical memory of the Afro-Ecuadorian community whose knowledge is far from one generation to another. The final product is an audio CD which contains the series of two stories, two myths, and two legends from the province. These stories will be told and dramatized by students of the “Luz y Libertad” school in the city of Esmeraldas for which, previously, they will be adapted to a simple and warm language that facilitates the abstraction of content and the importance of knowledge and oral symbology of the African ancestral legacy.
