Músicas urbanas y alternativas en entornos rurales

dinámicas y representaciones del espacio, para encontrar un lugar en el mundo

Abstract

The parks or main squares of many
municipalities with a rural vocation in Antioquia
continue to be meeting points, where people can
sit around them (inside or outside the commer
cial premises) to socialize and market products.
Given the importance of these areas, the differ
ent generations of the town (at least the major
ity) inhabit these places to see and be seen by
others. To the point of wanting to hold the largest
and most representative events in the main park,
including urban and alternative music festivals.
Holding these events on the street, in front of
everyone, is literally raising your voice and saying
here we are! It is modifying, even for a couple of
days, the traditional dynamics of the town, con
centrated in its main park; It is to gradually insert
other customs that, over the years, can become
the culture and heritage of their own territories.
Throughout this article, we will talk about the hold
ing of three urban and alternative music festivals
in eastern Antioquia and what it means for its
young people to develop this type of events in the
main park of their municipalities. Based on cate
gories such as ‘place’, ‘space’ and ‘everyday life’,
which will help us understand these meanings.
