Heredia’s music was censored during the National Reorganization Process.[citation needed] During its regime, the dictatorship forcefully disappeared 8,961 documented individuals—though the true number is estimated to be much higher—including his sister, María Cristina Cornú, who was four months pregnant at the time of her disappearance, and her husband, Claudio Nicolás Grande.[2][3] Heredia has collaborated closely with associations formed in response to the National Reorganization Process, including the Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo and La Asociación Civil Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, as well as Indigenous rights organizations.[citation needed]
His works include Todavía Cantamos ("Still We Sing"), Sobreviviendo ("Surviving"), El viejo Matías ("The old man Matías"), Dulce Daniela ("Sweet Daniela"), and Razón de vivir ("Reason to live"). His albums include Taki Ongoy, a conceptual work composed in 1986 in homage to Taki Ongoy, an Indigenous movement that arose in the sixteenth century (1560–1572) in opposition to the Spanish invasion.[4]
