Singer Sabina Chiaverano became the first graduate of the Bachelor's Degree in Cultural Management at the UNR (National University of Rosario). Her thesis, on women in local music, focuses on the transition from "backup singers" to "frontwomen."
In the corridors of the Faculty of Humanities and Arts of the Universidad Nacional de RosarioIn Rosario, where history and theory often intertwine, a milestone has just occurred connecting academia with the stage. Sabina Chiaverano, a familiar and beloved figure in the city's artistic scene, became the first graduate of the Bachelor's Degree in Cultural Management. But her achievement transcends the diploma: her final thesis, titled "From Chorus Singers to Frontwoman: Women in the Rosario Music Scene: A Characterization of Female Musical Productions in the City of Rosario from 2014 to 2025," fills a documentary and reflective void.
The path to this title wasn't linear, but rather the result of a lifelong quest and a series of coincidences that ultimately defined his vocation. At the end of 2019, Chiaverano was wrapping up musical projects and producing the Sabina Cantina series at Unicanal studios, which at the time were located in the Faculty of Political Science. “It was a very beautiful experience for me to go to the Faculty because I didn't have a background in public universities, so recording there was very moving,” he recalls about those days. It was that university atmosphere, experienced almost by chance amidst cables and mixing consoles, that planted the seed of what was to come.
When the 2020 pandemic brought the world to a standstill and silenced the stages, Sabina found a new horizon in enrolling in the degree program—along with her friend and colleague Eugenia Craviotto, lead singer of Mamita Peyote. What began as a curiosity in the face of the void in the artistic calendar transformed into an emotional and intellectual lifeline. “I got completely hooked, I loved studying. The first few years, right in the middle of the pandemic, the degree program did its job because it served as a refuge,” she confesses.
