  • Posted on: A celebration of silly

    I hope next year more people participate at the silly parade, for our group Rondalla del Sagrado Corazon it was a wonderful experience and for more information about our band of guitarist (Rondalla Not Mariachi) please visit our blog. http://rondalladelsagradocorazon.blogspot.com/ The word rondalla is from the Spanish ronda, meaning serenade. In centuries past, Spanish Solitaires juglares traveled from village to village bringing the news of the outside world and entertaining their audiences with songs of love and romance. Ensembles of stringed instruments also have existed in some form in Spain for hundreds of years. Moorish musical traditions had considerable influence on the early types of instruments played and on the musical forms that subsequently developed in Andalusia and throughout the Iberian Peninsula. The Tunas, which dates from the early nineteenth century, is an ensemble of musicians playing plectrum instruments: stringed instruments played with a plectrum or pick. As suggested by the name Tunas, the music played by these groups is of the romantic tradition. In 1930 Mexico was introduced to a variation of Tunas based on Mozarabic forms played with guitars, the piano, flute and percussion instruments. Some small groups performed this music, but it wasn’t until 1966 when this music came into fashion in Mexico and high school students created the variation as know as Rondallas and Estudiantina. #
