Cantaré, Latin American Music Cantaré, Latin American Music VAMOS AL CARNAVAL MUSIC FROM THE ANDEAN REGION OF SOUTH AMERICA INTRODUCTION During February and March, in the weeks just before Lent, many Latin American countries enjoy a celebration known as Carnaval. The festivities include parades, dancing, wild costumes and colorful masks. Carnaval celebrations began a very long time ago. The term Carnaval comes from the Latin expression carne vale, which means "farewell to meat", signifying that those were the last days when one could eat meat before the fasting of Lent. Nowadays, Carnaval is celebrated in many countries around the world. Despite the many regional differences, all of these celebrations include many days of dances, parades, masks, costumes and joyful public celebrations. In the Americas, each colony incorporated existing Indigenous rituals into their Carnaval celebrations. Later on, with the arrival of the African culture, African rituals, rhythms and instruments were also incorporated into regional Carnaval celebrations. In some cities of the United States, such as New Orleans and Mobile, they also celebrate Carnaval, except they call it Mardi Gras! Activity Pages – Vamos al Carnaval Cantaré, Latin American Music www.cantaremusic.com Cantaré, Latin American Music VAMOS AL CARNAVAL ACTIVITY 1 The song Vamos al Carnaval presented by Cantaré, comes from one of the many Native American traditions of South America. This type of music is played in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Perú and Ecuador. It uses a combination of 3 different types of instruments. • Percussion instruments – the kind that you play by tapping, shaking or scratching/scraping (drum, shake, scraper) • Wind instruments – the kind that you play by blowing (flute, saxophone, panpipe) • String instruments – the type that you play by plucking or strumming, such as with a guitar or a bass, or with a bow, such as with a violin or cello. In the video of Vamos al Carnaval, you will SEE string and percussion instruments, but you will also HEAR the sound of 2 wind instruments: Ø The Quena is a type of flute that looks like a recorder made of wood. Ø The Zampoña is a panpipe made with bamboo reeds of different lengths tied together. The song Vamos al Carnaval talks about getting ready to sing and dance for Carnaval. Here are the words in Spanish. Let’s see if you can translate the chorus of the song into English! (Hint: Cantar means to sing and Bailar means to dance). SPANISH ENGLISH Vamos a cantar Vamos a bailar A cantar, a bailar Vamos al Carnaval Activity Pages – Vamos al Carnaval Cantaré, Latin American Music www.cantaremusic.com Cantaré, Latin American Music VAMOS AL CARNAVAL ACTIVITY 2 MATCH THE INSTRUMENTS Match each instrument to the correct definition ZAMPOÑAS - panpipes made of bamboo 1. reeds of different lengths tied together.

  • The Sounds of South America
    TTHE SOUNDS OF SSOUTH AAMERICA Teachers’ Guide Music of the people 12 Charles Lane, Amherst, MA 01002-3801. Phone: 413-549-9155, Email: [email protected] About MarKamusic: From the windy barren high plateaus of the Andes, the mystical Amazon and Caribbean rain forests, the desert coasts washed by the Pacific and the Atlantic and the heat of the Caribbean comes a high-energy, multi- national musical ensemble that performs music deeply rooted within the folkloric, pop and traditional genres of Latin and South America. MarKamusic musicians sensibly render the musical forms and the soulful art of the cultures and countries from the south. The resulting product is an ever changing, eclectic weave of ancient, modern, aboriginal and popular themes performed on a fascinating array of native-indigenous, western and African influenced instruments. Like their ancestors before them, MarKamusic musicians draw from the depths of their unique cultural past: Inca, Quechua, Maya, Aymara, Taino, West African and Iberian. MarKamusic embraces musical history but then takes it to an altogether different place. Fused with the feelings and creations of younger generations, during its performances and workshops, MarKamusic emphasizes the musical and cultural contributions of the four major influences that have shaped modern Latin American music at large: the indigenous, the West African, the Iberian, and the United States. Traditional rhythms and musical forms from these diverse cultures slowly fused over the centuries, creating today's South American and Latin American traditional, folk and popular musics. MarKamusic's careful choice of repertoire and instrumentation conveys this historic evolution to the audience. Deeply moving and full of fresh and ancient energy, MarKamusic’s songs call out to the senses of our collective human memory and to the doors of our ancient hearts.

This something is an object not of recognition but of a fundamental encounter.” Gilles Deleuze “El sur como una insurrección de sabidurías subyugadas…como historia, como el hallazgo de nuevos paradigmas políticos…como conversaciones entre civilizaciones, el sur como nuevos universalismos, nuevas interpretaciones, nuevos significados, nuevos imaginarios, nuevos amarres…” Corinne Kumar Although this thesis does not respond to a linear argument and its components are interrelated, my encounter with what I will call mestizo Ecuadorian music – the object of inquiry – has a chronological history. The first time I listened to it was in 2012, inside a small concert hall where “Mancero Trio” was performing their new album Yangana. During the hour-long concert, I felt that performance and performativity became one for those musicians and I was caught in the materiality of the sounds; my fragmented mestiza subjectivity was loudly resonating in the music, this time, without any hierarchies and power relations among its voices.

An instrument called vibraslap is derived from this instrument. Cowbell (cencerro) – Bell made out of hard metal and used for many different styles of Afro-Latin music.

Hace foco en las percusiones representativas de algunas de las músicas locales que la conforman y plantea la posibilidad de elaborar -desde la Batería- una síntesis de sus toques más característicos. Para su realización, esta síntesis se basa en aspectos rítmicos, tímbricos y registrales, y atiende a las particularidades de cada música local, respetando la diversidad como un rasgo distintivo del “tapiz” sonoro latinoamericano. A su vez -y a través de la interpretación-, amparándonos en la Hermenéutica y las corrientes pedagógicas basadas en las teorías críticas y reflexivas, nos hemos propuesto elaborar un material audiovisual que funcione como disparador para realizar sus propias síntesis de percusiones a la Batería, en principio, a los/as estudiantes de batería y de percusión de la carrera de Música con orientación en Música Popular FBA UNLP.

  • 7429 Inti Mystical Music of the Andes
    (LYRCD 7429) INTI MYSTICAL MUSIC OF THE ANDES Jorge Alfano Dedicated to: the memory of my father: Anton Ponce de Leon Paiva and the Intiq Churicncuna, The Creator; source of universal love, creativity and compassion. In the Andean pre-hispanic cosmogony, there are three diving entities: Kon, Pachakmaq, and Wiracocha. During the time of the Incan empire Wiracocha represented these entitites as the Creator, Higher Power, or the Absolute. INTI (Sun) is the physical manifestation of Wiracocha in the universe, and is the most important deity in this cosmogony. The great Kechua masters, Illa Uma, kechua for spiritual guide, used to wear a medallion made of pure gold representing the sun (INTI), a symbol of a spiritual society called Paititi. INTI (divine spark) represents this ancient spiritual path by shining inside of each one of us now and than with the same intensity. Prayers and music are an essential factor of this spiritual culture, which has been surviving the longest and most silenced holocaust in the history of humankind. This music is dedicated to the major deities of this ancient tradition in the form of musical prayer by the original instruments. This culture is still alive in many parts of the Altiplano (Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile and Ecuador) and there are several native groups that are dedicated to this spiritual tradition such as Alto Misayoq, Ukukos, Kallawayos, Intiq Churincuna (Solar Brotherhood), etc. More information can be found in the book called “The Wisdom Of 1 the Ancient One: an Inka Initiation” by Anton Ponce de Leon Paiva (I.A. Uma).

Nem tudtam sajnos megválaszolni, viszont érdekességképpen összegyűjtöttem azon növényeket, amelyek használhatóak akár shaker-ként is: Pod Rattles,​ szárított termések (bab, borsó, stb.), szárított mákgubó, szárított tök, felfűzött terméshéj, felfűzött kagylók... 2. kép: mákgubó Meghatározása A csörgők, shakerek, maracasok, és egyéb hasonló hangszerek rázással megszólaltatható, idiofon ütőhangszerek.
