Elaboración de una composición en el género jazz afroperuano utilizando los recursos musicales del tema “negra presuntuosa” del compositor Andrés Soto.

Abstract

This research project aimed to develop a composition in the Afro-Peruvian jazz genre, utilizing the musical resources of Susana Baca's arrangement "Negra Presuntuosa." This work has a qualitative approach, descriptive and explanatory scope, and employed an analytical and inductive method. The data collection instruments used were documentary analysis, audio recording, and transcription analysis. The musical characteristics of Susana Baca's arrangement of the traditional Peruvian song "Negra Presuntuosa" by composer Andrés Soto were identified for subsequent analysis and thus developed for its correct application to an unpublished piece. The result of this research is the composition of the work "Pajarillo", which demonstrates the fusion of jazz musical elements and languages with the landó rhythm. This proposal seeks to contribute to the Afro-Peruvian jazz repertoire and serve as a reference for other composers, arrangers, ensembles, and musicians in general. At the same time, it builds bridges between different musical movements and strengthens artistic identity through the deconstruction and reinterpretation of traditional themes, helping to broaden the horizons of contemporary music and enrich the cultural landscape.
