The Indian Element of Latin American Music

Before Columbus discovered the New World in 1492, the Indian element of Latin American music was a major part of the Latin American music scene. Before Columbus discovered the New World in 1492, the Indians were the original inhabitants of the Americas, so their musical culture became the mainstream of American musical culture at that time. 1492, church music was transmitted from the Jesuit priests to the indigenous peoples of the Americas, and the colonial authorities suppressed the indigenous music, and the local rhythms and melodies were gradually mixed with European rhythms and melodies to form a new, distinctive Latin American form of music. Therefore, to this day, many Indian elements can still be found in the music of Latin America.

Indian music and culture, according to the different tribal conditions, it is difficult to generalize, but can be summarized as follows:

First of all, much of the music of the Indians and life is closely related to the combination of religion, labor, and dance, so, in general, they have a simple melody with a unique expression. This feature is especially in the Andean zone based on folk songs of South American folk music (using Indian instruments and guitars to play) the famous song "the flight of the eagle", there is no chromatic pentatonic scale, to do, re, mi, sol, la of the five tones of the composition of the melody, the formation of a unique style, interest.

Secondly, the rhythm of Indian music is relatively simple. But according to records, before the Spanish conquest of Mexico, in Mexico, in order to adapt to religious dances, already has a very complex, percussion instruments struck by the rhythm. Also, in the traditional music of the Indians, there is no harmony in the European sense.

Again, in terms of instrumentation, the absence of stringed instruments is a major feature of Indian instrumentation. Although stringed instruments such as guitars, violins and harps are often used in Indian music today, these were brought by Europeans since the 16th century, or were manufactured in the New World under European influence. The traditional instruments of the Indians are wind instruments such as the flute and the ocarina (ocarina), or percussion instruments such as drums and rattles. Among the wind instruments, the most popular are the harp, which is baked with bamboo, rushes or clay, as well as the reed pipe and nose flute. The Indian reed pipe is called the Antara in Peru, the Capado in Colombia, the Rondado in Ecuador, and the Siquez in Bolivia. Some people collectively call the various types of reed pipes zampona (zampona). Indian percussion instruments are especially colorful. Commonly used to burn the empty trunk of the drum system, such as Mexico's Tepona Stel, Brazil's Trockano; shells can be used as a scraping rattles, can also be used as a hollow shaker. Shaker collectively known as maracas. There are also? Drums? and jungle drums. Indians often humanized their flutes and drums, some being yin and some being yang. For example, maracas are yin and guillos are yang. The Guna Indians of Panama have two kinds of toro flutes, of which only one hole is yang and four holes are yin.
