Colombian songs to learn about tiple or guitar

To start with tipple and guitar Colombian music, she sees from the simple to the rhythmically demanding: first a caranga as La españarita or a slow waltz as Pueblito old, then a corridor sung as Espumas, then bambucos as I'm a Colombian or four questions and, as a goal, instrumental corridors as La cata golosa.

The order doesn't say what song's best but what's required of your right hand. Here's the repertoire by level, what paper every instrument keeps and how to get a song out without missing in an attempt.

To sum up

In Andean music, the challenge lies with his right hand: his scrape and his pulse weigh more than his chords.
It starts with binary or three-tiered air, such as caranga, waltz or dance and leaves the backpack for as soon as your pulse's stable.
In the trio, the tiple scatters and defines the air and the guitar does the bass and first learns the accompaniment and then the melody.
The instrumental corridors, such as The Gairy Cat or Red Wine, are an advanced goal: they demand agility and often change their tone between their parts.
Listen to several versions of each piece before touching it: the style is learned with an ear.

The Repertoire, ordered by difficulty

That list is intended for those with tiple or guitar. The levels are oriented: the same piece can be simple at a slow and picky time at a concert time.

First steps: caranga, waltz, dance and singing corridor

The first level looks for a single thing: that the right hand does not stop as the left's chord changes. The caranga is ideal for that. He was born in the Boyacan field, his play with tiple, retribute, guitar and guacharaca and his songs usually turn onto few chords with a matching rag. Jorge Velosa's spoiler is a fun and well-known entrance door.

Old town introduces you to the three times without a rush. On guitar, play the bass at first and chord at second and third and tiple, let the first time breathe and mark the other two with short blows. If that pattern comes out while you're late for the tune, you're ready for the corridor.

Spumes is a corridor sung at moderate tempo and there appears the real challenge of this air: that the first time remains clear even if the accompaniment has more movement. Be sure and listen if the 1 gets distinguished. And if you play guitar and read score, Farewell to Bogotá, the dance of Luis A. Calvo, has arrangements for guitar alone: it's a studio of sound and expression more than of speed.

The leap to the bamboo

The bambuco is the most expensive air, and not by chords: its charm lies at play with two pulse sensations, 6 / 8 and 3 / 4, that the melody and accompaniment often cross. That's why it's best to get to him with a firm pulse. If you have never been with paddles in 6, it starts with [the explain Colombian rhythms].](/blog/ritmos-colombianos-bambuco-pasillo-y-cumbia-explicados).

Listen to three different versions of the piece and mark with your foot where you feel your pulse.
Learn harmony by sections, with no rhythm: only changes of chord in your order.
Touch the scrape pattern onto a single chord, very slow, till she goes out without thinking.
Unite pattern and changes in first sentence and then second.
If your right hand stops while you're singing, put the tempo down.

I'm a Colombian and a good first bamboo because the melody's already been put into your ear. Four questions and Brisas of the pamplonite are classics that demand more patience with the frambling of the voice. The Sanjuanero brings a festive and danced character, and La guaneña, with a Naranan tradition, learns very well to listen.

Tipple or guitar: what paper you have in each piece

At the Andean trio every instrument has its homework and it's best to know what's yours before sitting up and studying a song.

Aspecto	Tiple	Guitar
Main function	A scattering that defines air and fills harmony	The Netherlands that walk between chords and harmonic support
What's best practice	Right hand: blows, lights and regularity	independent thumb and melodic low
Typical error	Scratching with a tighten wrist and tougher sound	Touch them all with a scattering and no low as a pop ballast
When you come with me	Score simple melodies	Guitar arrangements with or without duo

If you come from the guitar, the four tiple commands are tuned as your first four strings, so many positions are going to be familiar with you, and the new thing is the force to step on metal strings and the scrape. guitar or tiple.

How to get a step by step Colombian song

A great part of this repertoire circulates in encryption (the names of chords about the letter) and in recordings. To have that material serve you:

Compare the encryption with the recording. Many ciphers that circulate online are in another tone or have mistakes. Your ear is the judge.
He's defining the form. Many corridors and bambucos have two or three parts that are repeated and write the order (A, A, B, A...) prevents you from missing.
He's expecting a change of way. It's common for a minor and another part to be at its highest relative, or the other way around, if a chord "doesn't match," check if the piece's tone was changed.
Adjust your voice. If you're singing while you're playing, choose the tone before memorizing positions, not after them.
Learn the melody while you're with them. Tackling her tells you where chord changes are going.

The advanced goal: instrumental corridors

The instrumental corridors such as La cata golosa and Red Wine, both from Fulgencio García, are pieces of light for the bandola. At tiple and guitar, your first goal is to accompany them at moderate tempo without the first time being lost. Then come two challenges: velocity and shape, because this type of corridor usually have several parts with changes of tone between them.

When you're already with a leash, you can try a tipple-tipped melody or a guitar arrangement by yourself. And if what you call wear the melody, perhaps your instrument will be the [andine bandola]](/clases/bandola-andina).

With a teacher that knows his style, his path cuts short: He shows his patterns slowly and fixes his right hand before bad habits are established. A medio tono there are [tiple] teachers](/clases/tiple)and guitar that work with this repertoire, in virtual classes or at home in Bogotá.

Frequently asked questions

What's the easiest Colombian song to play at a tiple?

For an initial attempt, a carbagga as La spoonado or a slow waltz as Old Pueblite: few chords and a soon-to-be-learned scrape. The bambuco, though the most representative air, should be put to a later date.

Can I play bambucos and guitar corridors if I have no tiple?

The guitar forms part of the Andean trio and can be accompanied by a song with a combination of low and chords. The important thing is to learn the characteristic pattern of each air and to do something about it as a ballast.

Do I need to read score to play Andean music?

To accompany songs, read cipher and have a good ear. For instrumental corridors and trio arrangements, reading score will open up a lot more repertoire, because a good part of them are written.

Where do I find the chords of these songs?

In online and online songwriters and cipher's, but check them with a record: many have mistakes or are in another tone. Your teacher can help you correct them and put them into the tone of your voice.
