New Museum room dedicated to the culture Barranda Yagua
Prior to the inauguration of the Museo José Carrilero, and also in celebration of International Museum Day, Ramón Luis Valcárcel presided over the opening of a new hall at the Museum of Ethnic Music Barranda (Caravaca), which will host an extension of the library permanent.
The Board called Yagua is dedicated to the culture of the same name, originally from the Peruvian Amazon.
From there come the objects belonging to this indigenous group, which are outlined in three display cases that house two instruments-a ruuhuitú ruuhuitú male and female, along with various artifacts from the tribe.
35 years ago Fadol ethnomusicologist Carlos Blanco, director of the Museum, collected in Peru both native instruments, which eventually became part of the collection on display at the Museum of Ethnic Music Barranda.
In 2007, White returned to the Amazon Fadol and, during a visit to the Yaguas, found that both instruments had disappeared completely falling into disuse so that only a woman of 42 years recalled the sound, having heard a child, but not the form thereof.
With the support of the Department of Fine Arts and Cultural Heritage, the investigator returned a year later to the Peruvian jungle accompanied by a film crew, to reintroduce the two instruments between Yaguas, who taught how to build and use them again .
The whole process is contained in 'Yagua', a documentary 15 minutes is projected in the room.
The exhibition also has images of the Amazon jungle accompanied by environmental sounds that are operated over the public, which also hear the two instruments alternately recovered.
The whole process of recovery is shown with large photographic panels, which affect the habitat of the Yaguas and environmental problems of the Amazon forest in the region where they live, supported by others focused on the defense of the culture of the peoples of the Amazon and environment.
The Museum of Ethnic Music is the fruit of many years of travel and research of Carlos Blanco Fadol.
Since 1970 swept forests, mountains and deserts on five continents, making contact with ethnic groups still retained their traditional instruments, more and more scarce.
The different sections of the center offer visitors a varied sample of the musical culture of 145 countries, as well as music, stories and legends dating from the third century BC to the twentieth century, compiled by White Fadol.
