Herramientas pedagógicas andinas para la transmisión de horizontes sonoros precolombinos en orquestas; caso El Ensamble del Viento, UDLA

Abstract

Abstract: The search for the revaluation of culture and society has facilitated the use and positioning of traditional Andean musical instruments, creating several orchestras at the regional level with great success and impact on community self-esteem. Given the limited or non-existent contact of pre-Columbian sound technology with students, the Sonidos Resonantes project of the Quinatoa Center brings processes, pre-Columbian methodologies and sound instruments; with the main interest of providing these scientific compendia to musicians, researchers and the general public, as an identity and differentiating element for their artistic, technical, creative or commercial production. We analyze the Ensamble del Viento, UDLA, process by including pre-Hispanic sound horizons in their creations, thanks to the guidance of Maestro Alexis Zapata and the influence of the ancestral elements of the Sonidos Resonantes program; This cultural development has gestated an important process in the members of the Ensemble, achieving acclaimed performances on major international stages. In order to replicate these experiences, the construction of a methodological guide for Andean youth orchestras is proposed, which promotes and facilitates the transmission of ancient sound technologies.
