This article presents a first approach to the emotional work and framing performed by the demonstrators through two central sound expressions in the protest marches: the chanted slogan and the music. Using the sounded ethnography, which recovers the acoustic dimension of action, the sound making practices, and their meanings, we analyze the acoustic work carried out by different contingents in eleven protest mar­ches that took place in Mexico City between 2015 and 2018. Our aim is to reveal some of the emotional functions that are carried out by the music and the slogans. Through the theoretical contributions of the psychology of music and the constructi­vist approach to emotions, our analysis reveals that music and slogan fulfill different emotional functions which depend on structural and stylistic features. On the one hand, through slogans, emotions are displayed rhetorically, an affection discourse complements the processes of cognitive framing, and expresses the cultural orienta­tions of the movement and rules related to feelings. Music, on the other hand, allows emotions verbalization. In addition, it plays a central role in energizing protest’s necessary affections and modulating protesters mood.
