good night my name is called
I’m the director of the bosch group
my reason for being here is for this
instrument the bagpipe the bagpipe you the
know
be here of the colombian caribbean a
ancestral instrument of our
indigenous people and then we the young people of
here in Barranquilla we have taken it with
our identity flag in any
Place of the world
then the bagpipe the instrument that does not
is representing anywhere
of the world
this more Colombian instrument that
exists and we feel
identified with this instrument
We started to create a new proposal to
what we have called the new bagpipe
well as his name
The new sentry box consists of a
bagpipe music alternative does not want
say it’s better than the aitor biennial
be that the traditional bagpipe
here what we are proposing is a
bagpipe that comes closer to our
sounds the sounds of youth to the
contemporaneity and we do that to
through this type of children’s devices
How good do you see puts effector
the twine then in another context and in another
and in another dimension for us
young people to understand a little more
to understand it with the language of this
contemporaneity
we also do it through a new
instrumental format
I have a band called a bag by
here are the friends of bosa where
incorporates elements such as
guitar the male bagpipe that the
accompanist of the bagpipe shortly a
female bagpipe
by the way here the females are the ones
send eye with that all
instruments from here the caribbean
Colombian has female and male and the
female are the singer
the female drum and you know him in
the joyful drum that carries everything to the
rhythmic charge and the caller the male that
demarca is accompanied by the female twine
also in the one that carries the melody is the
that the male also sings the company and
touch marajá the maracas there is a
female and a male if they did not know
the female brand is the house the figure and
the mara camacho is the one who commands the
which marks then continuing a little
who owed me yg
these instruments that are our
we do it through a
different format
the format of the new bagpipe where
we already interact through a
traditional guitar rhythms but since
the guitar and from the bagpipe what
opposite universal rhythms of a
traditional instrument
then this a strategy to get
also to young people so they know
our our our rhythms
our instrument our traditions
get closer to our identity
cultural
one day I had to get to interact with
with young people from a popular neighborhood here
of Barranquilla and I said look this is
the bagpipe is a beautiful instrument sounds
appointment and they all told me it’s a piece of
stick or not that does not have why that does not go
to win silver started it’s not going to win you
life and I told him how not to
with this that I earn my living and that what
that you listen to me then I said no
that has flow is reggaeton
I told him to have a reggaeton
the bagpipe that challenged but I did say
something like
how
[Music]

[Music]
[Applause]
to and from there I started to find the
bagpipe as a tool to bring
to young people to this instrument to
from a new sonority of
then I did not only reggaeton
with the bagpipes but also doing
example me that I come from a context
academic studying music
asia also small fragments of
classic works like the bad and nery of
bach ya meet wagner and eva
well it does not matter they only know it
the friends there the wagner and everyone has
listened to why because if we give 13
steps back like 10 years ago
they all had a 1,100 a 1,100 cell phone and
that was the whole 1,100 little cell phone
[Music]
more back the
[Applause]
then also with popular music
vallenato with everything
with all the idea was that good and there
uu and they made a video on a night of
spreading a video that became
viral that said the twine do not have
limitation on the limitation of the put
you and it was amazing as people from others
places in the world that did not know this
instrument began to approach and to
inquire and discover what the bagpipe was
from a sound trip a small
sound trip that I made from music
classic to reggaeton
so that ‘s the idea how
captivate it is not that it is not wearing
the opposite is the opposite
approaching what everyone
listen to what youth listen to how
captivate and through our music and
of our traditional instrument and
I think that you are key in this sense
Osa is looking not only to captivate
to the youth but to make known a
instrument so as magical as the
bagpipe that only in listening to it a
bagpipe wheel in sucre sheep or in san
hyacinth olive you wrap yourself in that
magical ritual sound that is full
of history full of de of
much passion of a lot of delivery with this
instrument
then my sister always passed me
he makes fun of me because I was a
inveterate with trans music
I loved house music
I loved documents
I really like electronic music and
I said no to the bagpipe is music for
oldies that music for digits or not me
I was then 13 years old and
I did not identify with the bagpipe making
here of the colombian caribbean having
so much the influence of the carnava of
of then of what there is but of xacinto
here in this context
Who has not heard a bagpipe and I
I tried to get away from everything that
had to do with this instrument and
one day my sister told me man but
give yourself the opportunity to listen to her know
the famous sheep and I went with her sheep
to participate in the festivals and there I
I screwed up, I got spoiled because
right now I’m a crazy man in love
of this instrument
this instrument did not change it for nothing
for nothing for nothing for nothing more
then the only message that I want
to leave with with all this is that this one
it has to be the instrument that
represent colombia
this has to be our icon like this
as it is the hat vueltiao as a
bagpipe the other instruments could be
I’m not denying that press of a
otherwise the other instruments are
a clear inheritance from others of others
cultures
the drums are clearly the legacy of
our African ascendants that more
the harpe to all these instruments of
Ropes are of European Asian origin
but the bagpipe this instrument that is
here is Colombian and with that I ask
bagpipes colombia
