Payada
The ''payada'' is a folk music tradition native to Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brasil, and south Paraguay as part of the ''Gaucho'' culture and literature. In Chile it is called ''paya'' and performed by ''huasos''. It is a performance of improvised ten-line verse called '' décimas'' usually accompanied by guitar. The performer is called a "''payador''", albeit any guitar performer in the region is called by the same name. In performances of two or more ''payadores'' (the "''payada''"), known as ''contrapunto'', they will compete to produce the most eloquent verse, each answering questions posed by the other, often insulting. The durations of these verse duels can be exceedingly long, often many hours, and they end when one ''payador'' fails to respond immediately to his opponent. Musical styles often used in the ''payada'' are the ''cifra'', the ''huella'' and the '' milonga''. History The work of Bartolomé Hidalgo (born in Montevideo in 1788) is considered a precedent ...

Martín Fierro
''Martín Fierro'', also known as ''El Gaucho Martín Fierro'', is a 2,316-line epic poem by the Argentine writer José Hernández. The poem was originally published in two parts, ''El Gaucho Martín Fierro'' (1872) and ''La Vuelta de Martín Fierro'' (1879). The poem supplied a historical link to the gauchos' contribution to the national development of Argentina, for the gaucho had played a major role in Argentina's independence from Spain. The poem, written in a Spanish that evokes rural Argentina, is widely seen as the pinnacle of the genre of "gauchesque" poetry (poems centered on the life of the gaucho, written in a style known as ''payadas'') and a touchstone of Argentine national identity. It has appeared in hundreds of editions and has been translated into over 70 languages. ''Martín Fierro'' has earned major praise and commentaries from Leopoldo Lugones, Miguel de Unamuno, Jorge Luis Borges (see also Borges on Martín Fierro) and Rafael Squirru, among others.

Guitarrón Chileno
The Guitarrón Chileno (literally: "large Chilean guitar") is a guitar-shaped plucked string instrument from Chile, with 25 or 24 (rarely) strings. Its primary contemporary use is as the instrumental accompaniment for the traditional Chilean genre of singing poetry known as ''Canto a lo Poeta'', though a few virtuosi have also begun to develop the instrument's solo possibilities. History and use The origin of the Guitarrón Chileno may date back to the 16th century. Although the name suggests an instrument derived from the guitar, the design, tuning, and playing technique of the instrument are more closely linked to a common ancestor of the guitar, the vihuela of the Renaissance and Baroque. There are also some design similarities to the Baroque archlutes, though a direct connection is uncertain. Technologically the instrument has followed an evolution similar to that of the guitar. The old instruments used tied-on gut frets and friction tuning pegs (similar to the violin), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
