Abstract

Colombian music has been the fruit of the construction as a country over centuries, where mestizaje had its appearance in the XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX centuries, in which the clash of cultures converged in these lands to stay, to transform , To turn, thus indigenous ancestral cultures, blacks brought from Africa for heavy jobs and the European white oppressor, merged knowledge, customs, religions, thoughts and of course his music; Everything we are today was born there, in the amalgams that allowed us to merge, at first with rebellion, with contempt, then with nationalist sentiments, with love for the new land, and meeting to agree on where the Diversity, cultural richness, the immensity of expressions that are part of our homeland. It is necessary to say that Colombia is made up of regions with an invaluable musical wealth, each zone has thousands of expressions, rhythms, dance, songs that accompany the citizen, the peasant, the industrious worker, who builds his homeland from his piece of A land he loves as his mother; In this way, we allow ourselves to focus on the Colombian Orinoquia zone, with its multiplicity of encounters, chores, musical expressions that are built day by day with the latent pride of its people, because if there are people with upright chest, with originality Of his speech, with the frankness of his feeling, this is the llanero, life led him to go through particular situations and from there began his dialogue with the earth, with animals, with the sky, with the magic of its rivers, With his women whom he sings to him, he admires and respects him, so that one day he will incorporate into his music everything he thinks, everything he feels, everything he loves, and there are born more than 50 variants of the fast and slow rhythms , With its stylized air and its creole expression, exploring sounds from the instruments that gave origin to this vast region. Our job is precisely to pay tribute, from the academy, a small part of the immense wealth that belongs to us, but we must disclose it and put it on the site that corresponds to this resort to knowledge built in the elaborate music, and To approach in detail all the secrets of its form, its coloratures, its unique flavor, its snatched dance, trying to construct a document that contextualises the way a work of these magnitudes must be approached. The present work has its specificity in the morphological analysis, in the approach, in the construction of versions of that Orinoquía music in formats that until now have not been explored, such as the ensemble of saxophones, where, intelligently, thinking Each step, reflecting, starting from trial and error, to give life to this work that takes its title as its original expression "Zumba that Zumba" where interwoven dialogues of questions and answers, where the rhythm is present, where there is that impregnate their social context to achieve merge the most beautiful sounds, soprano saxophone with his piercing, high-pitched timbre, alto saxophone, setting counter lines, taking sometimes major roles in that waddle with tenor saxophone, seems known lifelong , Supported by the baritone saxophone with its lament, with its majesty, marking the tempos, taking the rhythm, but also making itself feel co mo part of the family to mix all the most nutritious juice that accompanies a task of coleus, and relishing mamone and chiguire, wanting to bring the audience to ecstasy mixed feelings, fused between miscegenation and European instruments. Moreover interpretive elements are necessary to obtain an approximation to the final interpretation of llanera work that has immersed the air of "Zumba Zumba" Also the interpreter saxophone may include in their criteria of academic knowledge new natural patterns and experiences Of the plain, approaching the essence of the llanero and the interpretation of its music, the benefits that can leave us this preliminary project, are specific contributions in the music llanera like; Phrases, rhythms, intervals, scales, tonalities, and complex figurations to better understand the context of the llanero and understand the air of "Zumba zumba".
