Aplicación de los recursos armónicos, rítmicos, melódicos y orquestales del jazz afrocubano utilizados por Tito Puente en la década de 1950 a 1960, en composición inédita.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to produce a musical proposal of an unpublished theme based on the harmonic, rhythmic, melodic and orchestral elements of Afro-Cuban jazz. The author identified and analyzed these elements used by Tito Puente between the years 1950 and 1960 to realize the composition and musical arrangement of the theme "Mambirri". The research methodology considers a qualitative approach and a descriptive and experimental scope. The instruments of data collection were: analysis of documents such as thesis of musical production, books and magazines of musical research; audio and video recordings, reading, interpretation and transcription of musical works and analysis of scores. At the end of the research and composition process it was shown that it is feasible to integrate these resources into an unpublished musical proposal using both the approach and the scope that was implemented. The author recommends exploring new sounds and non-traditional musical genres that will allow future generations to create innovative musical proposals in the country.
