Contradanza was a popular dance music genre around the 19th century. Some of the instruments included violins, trombone, clarinets, contrabass, and guiro just to name a few. This video shows a lot of these instruments but has a more modern spin on it with the electric guitar. It fuses contradanza with rock, which I think works well. We tend to see a lot of fusions in all musical genres and this is just one of the million examples of fusions we commonly see in music.
Great modernization! This live show must be incredible.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting. I really love the fusion of the flute and violin with the electric guitar. It's definitely a more modern sound. It's not a sound I would typically associate with Latin American music, but it's interesting to see how it can be traced back to the contradanza. It's cool to see how the traditional contradanza has evolved over time into something like this.
