We suggest as an aim to introduce and describe some sort of expressions of the dead and the death in the Argentinian Northeast and south Paraguay. To this effect we fall back on the corpus of the investigation references about the presence of the dead and the death, shaped like wind, breath or whistle; making a difference between the death in adulthood and the death in childhood. We focus on the annunciations of death, in the visitation rituals same as cemeteries/burials. For the investigation it has been prioritized the ethnographic method by implementing interviews in depth and observations in different contexts; the fieldwork was done between 2010 and 2018 in the Catholic creed. We can give an account on the distinct meanings this issues gain on the air between the under study speakers and about the way the significance spaces are reformed and the recognition on behalf of the peoples funeral memories.

Palabras clave : Moving air; The death expressions; The dead expressions; “Angelito” (Little angel); Defunct.
