Folivora #1 is a unfinished research on traditional rhythmic patterns from latin america, their bending, and their clash to several references and styles such as cumbia, hip hop, jazz and serialism to name a few.


The name Folivora is a direct reference to sloths, a mammal with its origin in South America known by its slowness of movement. Folivora also means aversion to work, which in our global context I understand as a mode of slavery produced by capitalism and self-reinforced in individuals by the romantization of productivity, extractivism and consumption (between much more).

Sloths consume a low-energy diet of leaves, and when they defecate, which is once a week on average, they expose themselves to predators to dig a hole in the ground and give back to earth what they took.
