In a ghostly and nocturnal journey, the act of listening unfolds the stories of invisible lives and anonymous deaths. "Night Ballad for the Rio Grande" is a radiophonic piece based on field recordings and interviews with Latino migrants collected across the South of the US between 2010 and 2015. The piece is the result of the collaboration between a documentary filmmaker and a sound artist, in which music, voices, processed sounds from nature and radio excerpts are combined to produce the soundscape of a geographical and mythical space: the borderlands of the US and Mexico.
