Visibilización del aporte de la música vallenata desde sus valores autóctonos a la identidad cultural de Valledupar, Colombia.

Abstract

Vallenato is an autochthonous musical genre of Colombia, which arises in Valledupar, after the fusion of cultural expressions such as cowboy songs from Magdalena Grande, songs of African slaves and rhythms of traditional dances of the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Little by little, this genre was causing a great fury in the population, until it became a cultural representation that today is part of the territorial identity of an entire country. However, the new trends that the cultural industry has brought with it mean that this movement, which has been named Intangible Cultural Heritage, runs the risk of losing its essence and its indigenous values, as they are replaced by new sounds with the aim of greater commercialization. Given this, a work is carried out whose main objective is to make visible the contribution of vallenata music from its indigenous values to the Colombian cultural identity through a documentary video. It was done under a qualitative research approach using direct observation and interview techniques, which allowed the collection of information that allowed the creation of the documentary from the testimonies of its participants, finally achieving a product that represents Vallenato traditions and highlights its native values.
