La memoria histórica musical y la reproducción de la música tradicional ecuatoriana por parte de los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Ambato

Abstract

Traditional Ecuadorian music is full of cultural richness. This allows us to look back in time and identify events of socio-cultural identity expressions that are reflected in the era where elements of acculturalization in music and transcendental changes are combined by the entrance to the Internet. The objective is to identify if the diffusion of the Ecuadorian traditional music affects the musical historical memory of the young people; which; in addition we resorted to the techniques of Interview in indirect form by means of the platform of zoom / Wassap and Messenger which was handled this way since we were in sanitary emergency by the world-wide pandemic Sars-Covid-19; that's why it was done virtually and the surveys that were done physically to young students coming to the conclusion that Ecuadorian music is one of the most beautiful in the world; since its rhythms are unique played with instruments of nature in many of the rhythms of all our regions: and its lyrics are the experiences of the performers, stories of our mother earth, the pain of a people who suffer poverty, the discrimination of the oppression of those in power, the romanticism of those in love; which have been lost in the musical memory of our youth by the introduction of the reggaeton and other musical rhythms that have been positioned in the psyche of young people; This is due to the fact that both the corresponding governmental entities have not given the necessary importance for the youth to enjoy our musical roots and spread it in a natural way without the obligation of someone or something, but to have the self-esteem for who we are through the traditional music and give it the necessary importance. It is clear that due to the lack of incentive young people are losing that taste for spreading traditional music, even though they are still curious about it and knowing who we are culturally and through music; but there is still no one who is really interested in not losing this musical identity with young people.
