Aportes de la batería en la reducción de los formatos percutivos autóctonos y la ejecución de los esquemas rítmicos de dos géneros musicales caribeños colombianos.

Abstract

This essay addresses the contributions of drums in the reduction of autochthonous percussive formats and the execution of the rhythmic schemes of two Colombian Caribbean musical genres: cumbia and porro. The musical genres of the Colombian Caribbean are broad in melodic and percussive instrumentation, making the participation of various musicians extensive. For obvious reasons, today, the necessary reduction of the musical groups that interpret these musical genres requires strategies that guarantee the musical authenticity and the life of these groups. The drums, in the field of percussion, is a musical invention made up of several instruments played by a single person, who can individually or simultaneously highlight the particularities of the instruments that make it up. Due to its versatility, the contributions of the drums to percussion instrument formats in Colombian Caribbean music will be evidenced, guaranteeing in some way the authenticity of Caribbean music and the continuity of the musical groups that reproduce it. The theoretical perspective of this essay is based on the theoretical assumptions of Aguilar, B. (2015), Valencia Rincón (2004), Zapata, S & Gómez, A (2005) works recognized and published by the Ministry of Culture.
