From the community of Pogue, a group of cantadoras sing alabaos in different public scenarios such as the commemorations of the Bojayd Massacre or in the signing of the Peace Agreement. By putting affect and feeling as creative forces of song, composition and performance, the Pogue singers recreate languages and modes of political action. With a collective voice, the singers construct a sound narrative that expresses their pain and their demands. Feeling in this context communicates women's emotional and embodied knowledge, and activates forms of production of historical memory and productive political action. Through the exploration of song, feeling and war, the article examines the intersections between culture, politics and resistance that these compositions and singing practices represent.

Palabras clave : Feeling; sound memory; social repair; political action.
