Juropus methronomus

The joctopus lives at the crossing between 3 / 4 and 6 / 8: the hemiola, the constant change between three groups of two and two groups of three, is its rule. The metronomer loads both compases with the same clasp velocity so that you practice that vaived.

132BPM · 3/4 · Allegro

Touch a point to change his accent: strong, soft or none. shortcuts: space bar to start or stop, arrow to change his tempo.

3 / 4 to 132 black and 6 / 8 to 88 black with tiptoe sound with the same clocks. It's a tempo of practice: the hump usually goes faster.

Compas and tempo from the humpback

RegionLlanos from Colombia and Venezuela
CompasHemiola 3 / 4 to 6 / 8 and also written 3 / 2
Reference timeAccording to Venezuelan musicologist Juan Francisco Sans, close to black = 152 at passage and between 176 and 192 at blow
InstrumentsMoulder harp, four and marachos (capachos), and some of them as a pouler
To listen"My plain," by Arnulfo Briceño (a passage, hymnus of the Fat) and "Pajarillo" (a blow)

Passage and blow, by right and by run

The passage is usually more paused and the blow, more quickly and so its reference moments are so different. Also, the juropus is organized into two great systems: by law (or passing through) and by run. According to educational material from the National Music Plan for Coexistence, the first follows an anachruic pattern similar to that of the bamboo, with the low in times 2 and 3, and the second starts with the support at first time.

The four, motor of the hump

The four holds harmony and rhythm with a dry and fast scrape while the harp carries the melody and the lower and seawater define the air. Before practising with the metronomus, apins with the four-liner tuner).

How to practice joropo with the metronome

  1. It starts at 3 / 4 with clocks and counts "1-2-3-4-5-6," supporting 1, 3 and 5.
  2. Switch to 6 / 8 without stopping: clocks are unchanged and backlights are 1 and 4.
  3. Alternally every two compas, that alternance is the hemiola that holds the humpous.
  4. It goes up from 4 BPM to the passing hour (about 152 black) and later from the blow.

How to read the tempo of this page

The BPM count the pulse of the bar, which isn't always a black: at 6 / 8 each pulse's a black with a tipstick (3 clocks), at 2 / 2 it's a white (4 clocks) and at 3 / 4, a black (2 clocks). That's why we should think about clocks a minute as well:

  • 3 / 4: 132 BPM negraThat's what I'm talking about. 264 That's how you write them every minute.
  • 6 / 8: 88 BPM black with tiptoeThat's what I'm talking about. 264 That's how you write them every minute.

Since the clocks go at the same speed, as they change their bottom rhythm doesn't change: they only change how they group and where they fall.

How to adjust the metronomer

  • Compas: At 6 / 8 compases, the metronome counts black with a tipple (two pulses per bar), and at 2 / 2 count with a white figure and at 3 / 4 with a black figure.
  • Section: He adds soft clics between his pulse and his pulse. With his clocks, you listen to his rhythm and without his subdivision, his pulse alone.
  • Actors: Touch every point so that that time sounds strong, soft or without an accent, and weapon the pattern that you are practising.
  • A time of a recording: put up the song and play Tap tempo at the pulse rate, and the metronomer calculates the BPM.
  • Retirement: From 2 to 5 BPM when the passage goes clear three times in a row. If it's broken down, put down 8 and get back up.

Common errors with methonomal

  • Speed up at end of sentence: It's the most common mistake. Record some compas with your phone and listen if you get there before clicking.
  • Play without listening to the click: When you go exactly to tempo, your blow and click merge and you nearly stop listening to it. If you listen to it before or after your note, it's okay.
  • Retirement up too soon: A clear and slow rhythm sounds better than a fast and tipsy one, and you learn more quickly.
  • To count the wrong compass: A quick tempo, a 6 / 8 sits in two pulses and a 2 / 2 in two white ones and count all the clocks out loud challenges you.

Frequently asked questions

Is the hump 3 / 4 or 6 / 8?

At both: hemiola 3 / 4 and 6 / 8 is the rule of the humpback and there are scores at 3 / 2. Do both with the same clocks and feel them at once.

How fast's the hump?

According to Juan Francisco Sans, about 152 black people a minute at passage and between 176 and 192 at blow. To practice, start slower and get up from time to time.

What instruments are played at the humpback?

The manga llanera, the four and the maracas, and in some sets the candola llanera. We have more about [instruments typical of Colombia]](/blog/instrumentos-tipicos-de-colombia).
