Argentina Folk Music of Cuyo or
Cuyana |
|
|
|
| |
The Cuyo folk music comprises the
provinces of San Juan, Mendoza and San Luis and its influence extends
on the south of Córdoba, Catamarca, La Rioja and the north
of La Pampa.
Besides, it is musically connected with Chile and the singable rhythms
more widely spread are tonada, gato (in this region with two turns
in dance), cueca (which also presents a regional form which is different
to the northern version) and waltz. All these compositions are danceable
by a non-embracing couple, with the exception of tonada, which is
practically the only lyrical rhythms lacking a choreography.
The typical form is sung by a duet and the main instrument is guitar,
with which the Cuyo man displays an exceptional interpretive skill.
The so called requinto cuyano, a variety of guitar with more strings,
is also widely used. Soloists stand out and the lyrics accompanying
the melody are always about love, although historical and religious
subjects are also common. |
