Argentina Folk Music from South
or Buenos Aires Folk Music |
|
|
|
| |
The South or Buenos Aires region comprises the whole
province of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, south Santa Fe and south Entre
Ríos. Folklore songs here are introspective and sententious.
The singer, generally a soloist, only accompanies himself on a guitar.
Lyrics reveal a social and rural concern, although love or picaresque
themes also abound, being performed in a milonga, huella, cifra, estilo
rhythm or others which are less known. |

In Argentina Folk Music from South or Buenos
Aires Folk Music, it is possible to find improvised or on-the-spot
singing, performed by the so called payadores,
who, alone or with an accompanist who sings the counterpoint, render
their improvisations under the chords of a milonga, cifra,
triunfo or even waltz. Another typical character of the South
or Buenos Aires Folk Music region is the criollo reciter,
who displays social subjects through criollo poetry mainly concerned
with the depiction of manners. All this belongs to the so called Plata
River folklore, since it has a similar dissemination in Uruguay.
On the other hand, the region is rich in dances, and over a hundred
(traditional and original) dances can be identified, all of which
are danced by a non- embracing couple.
Finally, tango:
a rhythm danced by an embracing couple which represents Argentina
worldwide. Buenos Aires has generally been credited for tango,
but this rhythm has also been largely enriched by musicians and poets
coming from inland. Singers, who are always soloists, perform evocative,
familiar and also testimonial subjects and for musical accompaniment,
they resort to sets of guitars or even orchestras with a variable
number of instruments, mainly made up by bandonions, violins,
piano and contrabass.
In this last period, the new exponents of folklore added unconventional
musical instruments like transverse flute, saxophone, organs,
keyboards, and drums, for percussion. This novelty has been
gradually accepted, except for traditionalist groups, who resist change.
