    INFLUENCES ON

    LATIN AMERICAN
    MUSIC
    INDIGENOUS LATIN-AMERICAN MUSIC
    Before the arrival of the Spanish,portuguese,and other
    European colonizers,the natives were found to be using
    local drum and percussion instruments such as the
    guiro(open-ended,hollowgourd with parallel notches cut in
    one side),maracas(a gourd or a gourd-shapedratlle fillied
    with seeds or pebbles and used,often in a pair,asa a rhythm
    instruments),and turtle shells.Wind instrument like the
    zampoña( pan pipe)and quena (notched-end flute)were
    traditionally made out of aquatic canes.
    Materials for making indigenous instruments
    ranged from hollow tree trunks,animal skins,fruit
    shells,dry seeds,clay,ang hardwood trees,to jaguar
    claws,animal ang human bones,and especially-
    treated inflated eyes of tigers.
    The indigenous of latin America was largely
    functional in nature,being used for religious
    worship and ceremonies.The used of
    instruments,as well as singing and dancing
    served,to implore the gods for a good harvest or
    victory in battle,to guard against sickness and
    natural disasters,and of course tgo provide
    recreation.
    AFRO-LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC

    The African influence on latin American music is


    most pronouncedin its rich and varied rhythmic
    patterns produced by drums and various percussion
    instruments.Complex layering of rhythmic patterns
    was a favorite device,where fast-paced tempos
    addto the rhythmic density.
    Vocal music was often-deeped chested while
    inhstrumental music greatly relied on drums and
    buzzers to produce rich sounds and occasional loud
    volume levels for added.
    EURO-LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC
    The different regions of Latin America adopted various
    characteristics from their European colonizers.Melodies
    of the renaissance period were used in Southern Chile
    and the Colombian Pacific coasts,while step wise
    melodies were preferred in the heavily Hispanic and
    Moorish-influenced areas of Venenzuela and Colombia
    .Alternating dual meters,such as 6/8and 4/4,known as
    “sesquialtera”found in chile and adopted in Cuba and
    Puerto Rico,were immortalized in the song I Wanna Be in
    America from Leonard Bernstein Broadway music,from
    un accompanied vocal solos to those accompanied
    bystringed instruments.
    MIXED AMERICAN MUSIC
    The diversity of races and cultures from native
    American,Afro-Latin Americans,and Euro-Latin
    Americans account for the rich combinations of
    musical elements.This musical fusion,combining
    native instruments with Europerean counterparts
    and musical theories,was further enriched by the
    instruments brought by the African slaves.
    POPULAR LATIN
    AMERICAN
    MUSIC
    Latin America has produced a number of musical genres and
    formsthat had been influenced by European folk music,African
    traditional music,and native sources. Much of its popular music
    has in turn found its way tgo America,Europe,and eventually
    the rest of the world.Its danceable rhythms,passionate
    melodies,and exotic harmonies continue to enthrall music and
    dance enthusiast worldwide.Some of these latin American
    popular music forms are the tango,bossa nova,samba,son,and
    salsa.
    1.SAMBA- The Samba is a dance form of African
    origin wich evolved into an African-Brazilian favorite
    in the working class and slum districts of Rio de
    Janiero.Its lively rhythm consists of a 2/4meter that is
    danced as three steps per measure,thus creating a
    feeling of a 3/4meter instead.It was meant to be
    executed for singing,dancing,and parading in the rico
    carnival.
    Samba has several variations,so that ther is no clear
    –cut definition of a single samba form.Its most
    adventurous kind is known as the batucada,reffering
    to a large percussion ensemble of up to a hundred
    players or an intensely polyrhythmic style of
    drumming.
    2.SON –The son is a fusion of the poular music or
    canciones(songs)of spain and the African rumba rhythms of
    Bantu origin.Originating in cuba,it is usually played with
    the tres (guitar),contrabass,bongos,maracas,and
    claves,(two wooden sticks that are hit together.)Although
    the son is seldom heard today,it continues to influence
    present-day Latin American music,particularly as the
    forerunner of the salsa.
    3.SALSA-The salsa is a social dance with marked
    influences from Cuba and Puerto Rico that started in
    New York in the mid 1970s.Its style contains elements
    from the swing dance and hustle as well as the complex
    Afro Cuban and Afro-Carribean dance forms of
    pachanga and guaganco.
    The execution of the salsa involves shifting the
    weight by stepping sideways,causing the hips to
    move while the upper body remains level.The arms
    shoulders are also incorporated with the upper body
    position.A moderate tempo is used throughout,while
    the upper and lower body act ni seeming disjoint aas
    described above.
