Mexican Ranchera Music in the Republic of Chile.
Dear Friend: Do you know that in the Republic of Chile have a special taste for Mexican ranchera music?
talked yesterday with a good friend and say, "My friend Luis, no doubt, bring the music in the soul, and is admirable as you like and know music."
What I tell you, what my friend told me it is true, so that I love music, it is also true, so I doubt is as to what you say you know music.
However, as every hobby, topic or issue that arouses our interest, it allows us to be always "ready" to everything that happens around us or to be always reading, listening, talking, mentioning something about our tastes, in this case, music .
In a blog where we collaborate with some of the music we have managed to preserve, we have had contact with friends from different places and countries that share our passion.
highlights and draws attention to the presence of our friends in the Republic of Chile who in an extraordinary like the Mexican ranchera music, which motivates me to try to explain why we favor with a taste for our feeling rancher, I can be wrong, so I admit corrections and relevant findings on the condition of this blog: total respect for the respectful exchange of ideas, which will enrich us all.
We will go back to 1939, on January 24 where a strong quake, an earthquake, an earthquake punished with their destructive power to the southern Chilean city of Chillán , leaving it almost in ruins, leaving about fifteen thousand fatalities. (Sure our Chilean friends know about this event).
Our country, Mexico , enjoyed (I think) of respect on the world and men as well the provision of relief in cases of necessity, got ready, despite domestic difficulties, (remember I had just happened the oil expropriation and compensation had to pay for foreign oil companies) to assist our brothers Chileans.
ordered the Mexican government needed to build a school "Mexico School" same building that began in 1941 and was completed and inaugurated in March 1942, large school, modern solid materials, a symbol of solidarity Mexican.
Thanks to the intervention of Pablo Neruda , Mexican painters David Alfaro Siqueiros and Xavier Guerrero went to Chillán to paint murals alluding to the brotherhood between the two nations and other facets of the history of Chile , these murals are part of the most valuable cultural heritage of the city.
addition to the above, and as an attempt to lift the spirits of the bereaved survivors, someone suggested sending some means of distraction, including many films from the golden age of Mexican cinema, because there was no point sending subtitled films as most people could not read.
is so - as we all know, the Mexican films are characterized by including development in many songs and many of them revolve around musical themes - and soon met the Chilean region Tito Guizar, Pedro Infante to to Jorge Negrete, Antonio Aguilar , Pedro Vargas and other prominent singers, actors cut Mexican rancher.
It seems relatively easy to understand the minds of the survivors Chillán, gratitude for the support and goodwill toward all things Mexican, so that soon ensued taste "ranchero" throughout the southern region, Chillan Chanco, Lumaco among others, grew up with ranchera music Mexico, which was consolidated with the presentation of Jorge Negrete in Chile in 1946 emotional to be a phenomenon of such magnitude that is still remembered. Phenomenon that is not consistent with the simple mass phenomenology without understanding the goodwill previously won by the Mexicans with their actions mentioned above.
Since 1989, every year in February, Quilhuiné , people belonging to Chanco, becomes the Festival Guadalupe Del Carmen Ranchero " that attracts thousands of attendees where Quilhuiné becomes a corner Mexican, come to light everywhere dressed men charro suits and beautiful girls with their skirts cleated and colorful ribbons.
It is logical that the rhythms and the lyrics are enriched by mixing with local roots and adapt to the region, but it is gratifying to know that authentic Mexican ranchera music, has in our Chilean brothers and admirable about faithful followers.
As an additional comment, I will say that some very old melodies rancheras and unknown in our country, we have sent the gentle Chilean friends in the blog friend of Mexican popular music and Latin American Popular Music seek requests in the input section of "Memories" and "Nibaldo"
Go from this humble space a large, friendly, affectionate and friendly greeting for all of our Chilean friends who share our taste in music.
