Abstract

The city of Santiago del Estero is the capital of the province of the same name, located in the center of Argentina. His geopolitical situation left a mark that would over time give her the seal of being considered "Mother of Cities" because from there other capitals were founded and because she was the oldest. This work investigates the arrival of San Francisco Solano in that city and the influence of the saint on the traditions of the locals (then ethnic groups who inhabited the region) their miracles and above all in the music and assessment of the people who instituted him patron saint of folklorists. It also aims to highlight the commemorative festival and the folk shows that take place. The festivities include special visits to the Museum of Sacred Art, located in the same church and also the tributes provided by the troops of the Police of the Province. He is one of twelve saints who set foot on Argentine lands, and the first to tour Santiago del Estero. In the rest of the world, its patron saint's feast is remembered every July 14, however, in Santiago del Estero the date was moved to July 24 to be coinciding with the anniversary of the feast of Santiago Apóstol. He was known as the "New World caster”, for the countless miracles that some of which are documented were produced.
