description Based on the various links that the State and organized rock musicians have established in recent years, in this article I intend to analyze the collective and political action taken by self-managed artists and musicians of rock from the city of Avellaneda (located in the south of the Buenos Aires suburbs, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina), during the electoral campaign of the year 2019. I emphasize, on the one hand, the militancy and political actions that different groups assumed, in coordination with municipal management, in order to influence the electoral result and, on the other hand, in the positions that the musicians and artists themselves took in this regard. I take an ethnographic approach, which takes up contributions from perspectives that privilege field experience as a source of knowledge. Field work, participant observation and in-depth interviews with artists and municipal workers have been the techniques chosen to carry out this work. With this article I hope to contribute to the analysis and reflection on the new links that emerge between independent and/or self-managed artists and the State (focusing, particularly, on the consensus and tensions that these articulations entail), and on the intersection between cultural/artistic activity, collective militancy and work in and from the State.

En base a los diversos vínculos que el Estado y los/as músicos/as organizados/as de rock han entablado en los últimos años, en este artículo me propongo analizar el accionar colectivo y político que asumieron los/as artistas y músicos/as autogestionados/as de rock de la ciudad de Avellaneda (ubicada en el sur del conurbano bonaerense, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina), durante la campaña electoral de 2019. Hago énfasis, por un lado, en la militancia y el accionar político que asumieron diferentes colectivos, en coordinación con la gestión municipal, en pos de influir en el resultado electoral y, por otro lado, en el posicionamiento y las posturas que los/as propios/as músicos/as y artistas han tomado al respecto. Parto de un enfoque etnográfico, el cual retoma aportes de perspectivas que privilegian la experiencia de campo como fuente de conocimiento. El trabajo de campo, la observación participante y las entrevistas en profundidad a artistas y trabajadores municipales han sido las técnicas elegidas para realizar este trabajo. Con este artículo espero aportar al análisis y reflexión acerca de los nuevos vínculos que emergen entre los/as artistas independientes y/o autogestionados/as y el Estado (haciendo foco, particularmente, en los consensos y las tensiones que conllevan estas articulaciones), y sobre el cruce entre la actividad cultural/artística, la militancia colectiva y el trabajo en y desde el Estado.
