Introductory video
Regional music
History
There are two well-recognized genres of music from Huila's department:
- Rajaleñas
- Bambuco
Rajaleñas: This is an old genre that was raised in the countryside and is based on the rhythm of the couplet with humor messages. For instance, the following paragraph:
“Esto dijo don Matías,
Esto dijo don Matías arrancando sus arracachas,
Arrancando sus arracachas,
Oleloelolaila, arrancando sus arracachas
Agua caliente pa`las viejas
Agua caliente pa`las viejas
Y besos pa`las muchachas
Y besos pa´las muchachas,
Olelo lelo laila y besos pa´las muchachas…”
Bambuco: It is a genre influenced by Pacific rhythms and used to dance. The most famous song is called Sajuanero
Costumes
BAMBUCO
The male and female costumes traditionally used in the regional Sanjuanero dance were inspired by the costumes of the ancestors, but substantially improved at the suggestion of the partners themselves to facilitate the movements of the dance.
The typical costume of this dance was adopted by the organizing board of the first Folkloric Festival and National Reign of Bambuco, in 1961. The first costume was presented by Elvira and Elcira Ferro, and made by Raquel Castro de Vanegas, with the collaboration of her daughers Magola and Olga. The tradition was continued by Judith Vanegas de Martinez and Josefina ( Pina ) Vanegas de Torres in the Taller Trajes Tipicos Pina Vanegas.
The women's costume consist of an ankle-length skirt adorned with flowers, lace and sequins, a tray neck blouse adorned with lace and sequins, and a flower headpiece.
On the other hand, the man's clothing consists of dark-colored pants, a long- sleeved white shirt adorned with ribbons and sequins, a poncho for the waist, a handkerchief and a jipi japa hat.
RAJALEÑA
After the arrival of the Spaniards, the women began to modify their typical indigenous costume, called chircate, changing it for long, narrow skirts with a waistband, and as a blouse they adopted the Spanish "mantilla", which instead of bangs had a wide embroidered lace called "blonda". The skirt was modified over time until it became very colorful and wide. They were used flowered or of a single color, decorated with randas in bright colors and arabesques. The "enagua blanca" was used as an underskirt.
The farmer wore braids adorned with flowers or red ribbons, chokers, necklaces, chains, bracelets and tendrils of bright colors that reflected the indigenous tradition and gave color to the white blouses.
The female hat, called pastora, had a wide brim and brightly colored ribbons.
The Spanish taught the Indians to use "chingas" or loincloths that later changed for wool ponchos and fur hats that were brought from Santa Fe, they generally use short pants or a type of long pants that reach the ankles, the shirt must be white cotton with a red scarf around the neck, the shoes are called alpargatas or cotizas, the first ones have fique soles and the second ones have leather soles.
