Argentina的音樂

根源與傳統

Folk music

Folk music—known as música folklórica or folklore in Spanish, from the English "folklore"—is a music genre that includes both traditional folk music and contemporary folk music, which emerged from the genre's 20th-century revival. Argentine folk music comes in many forms and has Indigenous, European, and African influences.

In the late 50s, Argentina experienced a "folklore boom." Among the most influential groups of the time were Los Chalchaleros, from Salta; Los Fronterizos, also from Salta; and Los Hermanos Ábalos from Santiago del Estero. Composer Ariel Ramírez and guitarist Eduardo Falú were also notable figures during this period. Between 1960 and 1974, Leda Valladares created a documentary series, known as the Mapa musical argentino ("Musical Map of Argentina"), taping traditional folk music throughout the country. The recordings she made were funded by the National Endowment of the Arts and directed by Litto Nebbia for Melopea Records.

Popular music

Tango was developed in the bars and port areas of Buenos Aires, Argentina and Montevideo, Uruguay, by the cities' urban lower class. It emerged as a fusion of various styles of music from across the globe including European styles such as flamenco, minuet, polka, mazurka, and contradanza; Argentine and Uruguayan folk music, including candombe, payada and milonga (considered a precursor to tango); and sub-Saharan African influences.

The Golden Age of tango is generally considered to have been from 1935 to 1952. At this time, tango was generally performed by large orchestral groups known as orquestas típicas, which typically featured over a dozen performers. Notable band leaders at the time included Francisco Canaro, Julio de Caro, Osvaldo Pugliese, Aníbal Troilo, Juan d'Arienzo, and Alfredo De Angelis. Notable vocalists from the era included Carlos Gardel, Roberto Goyeneche, Hugo del Carril, Tita Merello, Susana Rinaldi, Edmundo Rivero, and Ignacio Corsini.

In the 1950s, Astor Piazzolla revolutionized tango with his nuevo tango, which incorporated elements of jazz and classical music.
