Marcos Caroli Rezende is a chemist, professor and researcher at the Universidad de Santiago de Chile and translator of two manuscripts made in New Spain from classical Nahuatl into Brazilian Portuguese: Cantares mexicanos and Romances de los señores de Nueva España. Cantares and Romances bear witness to part of the pre-Hispanic oral tradition, which was set in the Latin alphabet as a strategy for catechizing the indigenous people after the so-called Conquest of Mexico. In 1995, Rezende published the inedited translations of some chants of the referred manuscripts in “Dezoito cantos náhuatl”, a bilingual work (almost) unknown in Mesoamerican Studies. In this interview, a fundamental translation work is exposed in the dissemination of old Mesoamerican chants in Brazil.
