Now, I will write a short commentary about one selected topic.
How did we lose, the real South American music?
When Colon arrived to america, he found many different people, with many different cultures and realigions too, sometimes stranger for the foreign people. This was so, because the practices of the natives were very bloody and the European people, saw them as diabolical. For this reason, the European invasor was deleting all the american cultural practices, and replaced them, with their own practices.
In this process, some arts have survived and others have not. In general, the difference was marked by different factors, the most important, was the material support that enabled to preserve fragments of those arts. For example, in the case of the sculpture is easy preserve pieces of arts, in paint too, but in the music, is very difficult if you don´t have any system for write or record sounds, then, all the original South American sounds, the original native South American music, was erased.
What you think about that?
Well, I think that the original native music can't survive against the european's ways because them had absolute control in sothamerican people. So, a lot of this poor people don't have much time to play their own music and in that time doesn't exist any way to record the melodies and this people don't know how to write and interprete the notes that they are playing. Any way, one can study the southamerican way of life and learn more about their culture and religion.
