La Pampa’s Government Role #
-
“The La Pampa’s Culture Secretariat supports actively the project “My Inner Band” with the aim of ensuring equal opportunities for musicians in the Province.”
-
“This state intervention is crucial, as without public support, initiatives of this magnitude tend to remain centralized in large urban centers. The provincial government of La Pampa seeks to level the starting point, not by replacing private investment, but by ensuring that artists from all localities in La Pampa have access to the same spaces for visibility, circulation, and professionalization as their peers in large cities.”
-
“In this way, it ensures that the talent, dedication, and work of musicians are not limited by geographical distance or technical infrastructure barriers, providing bands from La Pampa with clear conditions and tangible benefits.”
