Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1120576 By Luis Eduardo Bermúdez Acosta. By Luis Eduardo Bermúdez Acosta. Arranged by Juan Carlos Cortés Aguirre. Folk,Instructional,Latin,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Score. 2 pages. Juan Carlos Cortés Aguirre #721822. Published by Juan Carlos Cortés Aguirre (A0.1120576). Transcripción para Piano Solo por: Juan Carlos Cortés A. Obra que data del año 1939, dedicada al popular sector de la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias denominado como Chambacú. Grabado con la voz de la célebre cantante de San Bernardo, Cundinamarca y criada en Icononzo, Tolima: Matilde DÃaz y acompañado por la orquesta del propio compositor. Cumbiamba: Cumbia es apocope (Pérdida de una o varias letras al final de una palabra) de cumbiamba, este término tiene relación con la voz antillana cumbancha que en Cuba se significa jolgorio o parranda, ambas se deriva de la voz negra cumbe, baile negro de la Guinea continental española o kumba palabra que según el antropólogo Fernando Ortiz significa hacer ruido. La Cumbia tiene su dominio en todo la costa norte de Colombia, partiendo de Cartagena, donde se supone tiene su nacimiento aunque en El Banco, Plato, Mompox y Cienaga, también reclaman ese derecho. Esta danza tradicional se extendió por todo el departamento de BolÃvar para seguir a Sucre, Córdoba, Cesar, Atlántico y Magdalena. Generalmente se confunde cumbia con cumbiamba pero en la practica son dos cosas diferentes, ya que cumbiamba se refiere al festival o lugar donde se baila, no solo cumbia; si no otros ritmos como bullerengue, mapalé, porro, etc. También se le llama cumbiamba a las comparsas que bailan cumbia en los carnavales de Barranquilla. En el Magdalena también se le dice asà a la reunión de bailadores de cumbia, en tanto es la tonada musical y coreográfica, aire tÃpico predominante en todo el litoral atlántico. Cumbia Tradicional del Caribe Colombiano inscrita en la Lista Representativa de Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación (2022).

Published by Samuel Robles (A0.1209193). The Tocata Criolla is a work based on Panamanian rhythms, particularly the atravesao, a compound pattern used in the tamborito and cumbia traditions in the central provinces. The piece involves energetic gestures and agressive playing juxtaposed with more lyrical material, but with a constant energetic drive. A powerful addition to any virtuosic program, a Latin American-themed evening, or as a brilliant encore, the Tocata Criolla will surely dazzle your audience. The piece is dedicated to the memory of Panamanian composer Roque Cordero.(Duration: 6'10).

Desvaríos sobre "La botijuela" - a set of variations of a Costa Rica song through Latin American dance rhythms.
Performance time: 13 mins aprox.
Legend has it that the gamonales (landlords) used to keep their money in botijuelas (earthen jars) with the purpose of insuring it against the thieves. These jars were hidden in the thick walls or floors of the houses. As time went by, it so happened that the owners of the money usually forgot the place where they had hidden it and died without finding it. According to popular imagination, the soul of every person who dies having their money buried did not rest in peace until it was found. But on other occasions the owner of the money had been so greedy in life that, even after death, his spirit was still taking care of its capital, and lashed out against the person who dared to find it and take it away. To appease the spirit, it was necessary to invoke the sound of the dance "La botijuela", so that it would not take revenge and reveal the hiding place with the booty.
The work “Desvaríos sobre La botijuela" (Deliriums on “La Botijuela”) was inspired by this popular Costa Rican dance and legend. It is a really divertimento for solo piano, consisting of ten variations (or rather free reconstructions) of this Costa Rican folk dance. This musical theme is a danza criolla (creole dance), a rhythm that in Costa Rica is clearly related to other international dances such as habanera and contradanza. Some of the variations of this work make direct musical allusions to the style of composition of important figures of Latin American pianism, namely: Heitor Villa-Lobos, Manuel M. Ponce, Ignacio Cervantes, Astor Piazzolla, Ernesto Nazareth and Alberto Ginastera. Other variations, on the other hand, set rhythms present in the traditional musical imaginary of Costa Rica, even though they are not unique to the country. Such are the cases of rhythms such as pasillo, calypso, swing criollo (cumbia) and tambito. All these adaptations of the original theme are always made from a traditional tonal scheme. In this way, it demonstrates how a melody can be framed with extreme versatility in different rhythmic and stylistic patterns of the continent. That is why it is accurate to affirm that “Desvaríos on La botijuela" is a composition eminently Latin American.
