TANGOS AND HABANERAS IN THE SPANISH MUSIC

The encounter of Spaniards with the cultures of the American continent following its discovery was one of the most significant intercultural phenomena of the modern age. The Spaniards took the features of Spanish culture to the Americas, impregnating the indigenous and autochthonous cultures of that unknown universe with it. They carried our language and our songs, which very quickly brought an intercultural contagion and blend to the local songs with those differing idiosyncracies. While they certainly bore our songs, they also returned with the indigenous counterparts of those people, recorded in their hearts and in their memory, infected and infecting themselves mutually in an inevitable process of imitation where the mixture would produce the richness of interculturalism.
