Música, 5º y 6º quincena del 4 al 17 de mayo


This week, we going to learn the singer-songwriter and latin music with their features, and we going to listen works of the most important of both.
After, we going to learn rhythms with body percussion.


SINGER-SONGWRITER

 A singer-songwriter is a musician, usually a solist, who writes, composes, and sings his own songs, including the lyrics and melody. Although there are many singers of various genres who write their own songs, the term singer-songwriter refers to a specific type of artist who generally ascribes to a folk-acoustic tradition and often incorporates social, political, personal and philosophical thematic lyrics, although there are singer-songwriters who sing especially about love.
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

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 We Tranfer to agarriaga@edu.jccm.es
