La Esperanza (Jujuy) is a town and municipality in San Pedro Department, Jujuy Province in Argentina.[1]
It hosts an historical sugar factory, founded by British industrialists Walter (1858–1944) and William Leach (1851–1932). In 1906, German anthropologist Robert Lehmann-Nitsche signed an agreement with the Leach brothers. He had noted that workers there came from several different ethnic groups and used to sing while working. Lehmann-Nitsche recorded their songs in 30 phonograph cylinders that he sent to the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv.[2]
Lehmann-Nitsche was later criticized for having conducted his research ignoring the exploitation and mistreatment of the native Argentinians who worked in the factory.[3]
In 2019, after twenty years of difficulties, the factory, which was administered by the government since 2015, was sold to an alliance of private groups.[4]
