During the past
decades in Spain this type of music was called protest song. But today the term
is less related to critical or demanding than in the past.

LATIN MUSIC
Latin music refers to a musical genre
that includes very different styles and is located in the regions of Latin
America in which Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese are spoken.
With the arrival of the Spanish and
Portuguese people and their music in America, a revolution of music begins.
The mixture of African, European and
American rhythms produce a transformation and an enormous cultural wealth. We
know today a great variety of rhythms that fill the countries of this diverse,
complex and colorful part of the world.
We have to say that, for a few years
now, at least in Spain and in the Anglo-Saxon world, it seems that all the
music that comes from Latin America sounds like reggaetón. The reality is
completely different, in fact these countries produce lots of unique music
genres. To promote musical knowledge, I indicate below some Ibero-American
musical styles and rhythms.
Some of the most popular rhythms today are:
• Merengue
• Bachata
• Salsa
• Reggaetón
• Rumba
• Ranchera
• Bossa nova
• Tango
• Chachachá
• Mambo
• Samba
• Guajira
Now we
have here some of these works to get an idea abaout this music style.
Tango:
Carlos Gardel “Por una cabeza”
Merengue
Juan Luis Guerra - La Bilirrubina
Bossa
Nova: Tom Jobim “Garota de Ipanema”. Versión de Debi Nova
Ranchera:
Rocio Durcal “Me gustas Mucho”
Chachacha:
Celia Cruz “Oye como va”
Guajira:
canción popular cubana “Guantanamera” Compay Segundo
And, what latin music do
you prefer? Why?
RHYTHMS
We will continue to discover body percussion.
Next,
we can see a video of the Mayumana musical group. The shows of this group are of
theater, dance and percussion all united. The choreography they perform is of
great vitality. Percussion is usually performed on picturesque objects such as
rubbish bins and other recycled objects, which makes their music characteristic
and loud, even with their own body.
Here
you have the link to watch an example, but on YouTube there are many more, just
you have to put Mayumana:
Now,
to see if you are able to follow the rhythm with claps, I send you this link
where they make it more desperate, and each of the movements and sounds is
clearer.
Finally you have to write 4 bars of four-four, that are repeated
twice, and you have to use e different musical figures, like this one, for
example:

After, you going to interpret
it with clapping, using your instruments, or different objects you have. Record yourself like the previous video and you will send me, with the rhythm writed, by
