Actas capitulares desde el 21 hasta el 25 de mayo de 1810 en Buenos Aires

The listening experience brings you the full, unedited minutes of the Buenos Aires Cabildo as it met from 21 to 25 May 1810. In these pages the city’s representatives gather to discuss the crisis unleashed by the fall of the Spanish Viceroy and to contemplate a new form of local authority. The prose retains the spelling and phrasing of the original, giving a vivid sense of the language and urgency of the moment.

Within the prologue and the early entries you will hear the tension between loyalty to the distant crown and the growing desire for self‑rule. Names of the leading citizens appear alongside their arguments for preserving order, establishing a junta, and protecting the community from chaos. Listeners gain a rare glimpse into how ordinary officials debated a revolutionary transformation that would later shape the birth of a nation, all while the city’s streets buzzed with both hope and uncertainty.
