A friend invited me to a party. Musicalizar she was responsible for the meeting and, as expected, so from personal taste: the soundtrack to the film Underground was present that night and commented on my piece - "Looks like a Balkan cumbia" - drew the ire of the lady: "I hear other scales," "I do not think that this music has to do with that other "and a long list of gestures impossible to bring the reader through writing. To see us and tell us every day we went to an absence of two weeks. I suspected then that, while not wanting to and having been away from the intent, I had really touched a point that my friend left him with a status offense - "the truth offends" he said. But was that a truth half. Ofernderla To finish I had to find the other half of the truth: the g musical Januarys are but two, namely Tango and Cumbia. And this statement is not a theory, or at least not in the Western sense, which always involves a generalization, an abstraction and conceptualization (a grounds here today we can call ed theory only broadly). Is much closer to a knowledge expressed from afar the Scientific Method and from a location much closer to that of the Native Cultures of the Americas, more friends of the empirical, of metaphor and analogy, and many times friends of truth.
All music fit into one of two categories (tango, cumbia). So, in truth, "the Indian" with the idea just examples will understand: Bach, tango, Vivaldi, cumbia. Verdi, cumbia, Wagner, tango. Schönberg, tango, Stravinsky, cumbia. Mozart Requiem except , cumbia. The bolero, cumbia. Cumbia, cumbia. La cumbia "slum" tango. Gardel, cumbia.
The "method" was applied on the outside of the music with surprising results. Literature: Borges, tango, García-Márquez, cumbia. Countries: China, cumbia, Japan, tango. Russia, tango, Italy, cumbia (Uruguay can generate a conflict ....) Sports: boxing, cumbia, tennis, tango. Polo, tango, football, cumbia.
There are large areas that are generally defined as tango and cumbia, but inside harbor subspecies of the same or different nature. Religion and football, for example, are general cases cumbia. However, Judaism and Buddhism is tango is cumbia, but within that overall context. Boca Juniors and Velez Sarfield is cumbia tango. Messi, tango, Maradona, cumbia ... Football, We said, cumbia.
Even the "theory" can be itself and thus become "meta" and say she is cumbia.
I invite you to add to the brief list here started tango and cumbia cases found in the entire spectrum of human cutura.
