| Summary: | The present article approaches the radical separation problem that the modern/colonial western project has established between “learned art” and “popular art”, referring the latter to the rural and/or the marginal sectors of the cities, and to the implications that the emergency of popular manifestations have for our societies. The so called “resentment music” in Colombia gives a visual account to big social sectors that find in this musical gender the re-presentation of their experiences, disillusions and frustrations but also of their yearnings and hopes, that is to say, of a social reality that filters by means of this music, and that in many occasions doesn’t have relevance in other mass media. These musics are interpellating a hegemonic system that determines the likes and aesthetics, by means of narratives that separates from the conventional to be interwoven with the fabric of a problematic social reality. These situations induce to ask in which ways this musical gender is contributing to the construction and/or invigoration of the urban and rural identities in Colombia, or in what ways the identity’s social construction processes have given rise to musical genres such as resentment music. |
