in a Colimense Family

Program Culture of the Social Research center
of the University of It sights on.

Preliminary introduction

Often, those that we studied social ambien drug free prescription sample later and we dedicated to the social investigation, we ignored or we do not make much case in approaching problematic that not relations ambien cr pic studies on means: Cinema, Television, Press and ambien cr pic as if this outside unique possible, probable or worthy one to be tried from the methodologic approach of the communication. Without reducing the importance and the respect that these problematic ones have, fodder that exists multiplicity of cultural practices that from the approach of the communication also can and must be boarded if we took into account the point of view from the social and cultural meaning, that is to say, sense that determined practical it locks up in itself.

The representation of ambien cr pic like cultural practice in a colimense family.

There is doubt that no music like complex system of social, cultural, ideological, aesthetic relations, of production, sonants, of perception - it demands studies from diverse angles - Nevertheless; I believe that, in its modern sense, the musical investigation, has mainly been to position of two disciplines of human sciences: musicology and the etnomusicología. Nevertheless, it is important also that the culture and the communication are added to this task and participate with their methodologic approach.

This communication is product of the preliminary advances of the investigation that I am realising; on processes of transmission of music. In this ambien cr pic it interests to me to approach the musical question from ambien ambien buy cheap online scope that I consider is still unexplored; that is to say, from the analysis of the contemporary culture and the communication. In other words, I want to understand the sense that a family of musicians gives music; which are the reasons that explain why the family carries out east office? , how it is possible that an extensive family generates musicians? , where they acquire its musical abilities? questions that are still without solving: because its answer implies to realise a deep analysis of reflection and interpretation, or ambien ambien buy cheap online Clifford Geertz would say (1): ambien drug free prescription sample dense description; it requires of interpretations that go beyond a first order of abstraction of the social reality. What entails ambien ambien buy cheap online a refexividad exercise. So far, my objective is to set out my experience, when introducing me in the life of a family of musicians; where I have been able to find a network of relatives (five generations) [to see graph Annex] that they allow to take a ambien cr pic of the transmission of a musical office.

Childbirth ambien cr pic the idea, that practical music in as much cultural, is a complex network of relations of different nature: intrinsic, external, sociological, anthropological, aesthetic, psychological, pedagogical, linguistic, etc. and that is possible to approach it in itself like also in its relation to everything or part of the vast world surrounds that it. Since it has maintained Mill to it (2), music is a total social fact (1975: 37).

According to ambien cr pic express Padilla; (3) from a specific point of view: music can be studied like an organization closed and locked up in itself; like a unit formed by intrinsic special relations; like a ambien cr pic related only to she herself. That ambien cr pic to say; that according to this author, of music the musical text can be studied - written y/u oral of relatively independent way of the context; like a little ambien drug free prescription sample of a more general and global analysis.

The certain thing is that music for all time plays an essential roll in the human society and of all the latitudes. As it indicates Merriam to it; (4) when differentiating the ambien cr pic from the function of music. All music - ambien ambien buy cheap online from where and when one takes place ambien ambien buy cheap online functional (1978: 209-227). She plays a multifacético roll in the society, from the satisfaction of aesthetic needs to the one of diversion, acts as element binder of a social community and is a central factor of her cultural identity.

Preliminary information on the family:

The central personage of this family of musicians: He is ambien drug free prescription sample Horacio Naranjo Garibay - my main informant who at the ambien ambien buy cheap online has 57 years of age I locate and it ambien ambien buy cheap online the fourth generation; because volume like departure point the position of the great-grandfather; and the one is its son ambien drug free prescription sample completes the fifth generation. The grandfathers of Mr. Horacio also were musical; like both uncle-grandparents (Emerencianoy Erminia). Emerenciano - he was director of the Band of the State of Sights on, in the year of 1910 - As well as three of its brothers: Teresa, Armando and Carlos.

His father, Mr. Carlos Naranjo Villalobos, was musical of a Colimense Orchestra that was based the 13 of 1930 July, by Mr. Emilio Towers.

In 1932, this orchestra happens to Mr. Carlos Naranjo, it registers and it with the name ambien drug free prescription sample the Orchestra of Carlos Naranjo - how, why, whereupon criterion changes of proprietor the orchestra it ambien cr pic an important data ambien drug free prescription sample he is pending to investigate - After ambien drug free prescription sample years to direct it, gift Carlos, decides what is their Horacio son who remains to the ambien cr pic the orchestra returns to change of name and from it knows itself there like the Orchestra of the Colorado Naranjo. Why of this election being more musical children in the family (Armando and Carlos), we do not know it either ambien drug free prescription sample far. Nevertheless gift Horacio counts the situation, in that his father decides to leave it to the front of the orchestra:

Memory that was as in the middle ambien ambien buy cheap online 60 years ' s and we were brightening up a dance in government palace; when suddenly. My father began to feel badly, and he said to me: pásale ahead, hazte position and I do not want to know nothing.

Don Horacio tells that his papa (passed away in 1982) was a person of strong character and I do ambien cr pic want to know nothing, meant that it would not accept a negative answer. Reason why confused before the decision of his father and frightened ambien drug free prescription sample the entrusted responsibility, it responded affirmatively: then, I put myself very nervous and I had to accept because it could not defraud father who was ambien cr pic all their confidence me.

When Mr. Horacio makes his debut like director ambien drug free prescription sample the orchestra, he had 21 years of age, of which already he had dedicated great part of these to music. (Eleven exclusively to the orchestra). This speech of the early age in which gift Horacio enters the orchestra.

It is possible to be said; that I grew in a musical atmosphere, for that reason I believe that from child I liked music, I I did not spend my time in games that did not have something to see with music. In primary I touched in the Band ambien drug free prescription sample the school and years later I was soloist of the Band of the State.

His first action like director, was a success; reason for which Don Baltazar Valley, owner ambien cr pic the orchestra Valley of Santiago that was in charge to alternate the dance of that night would congratulate, it and offered work to ambien cr pic so that it directed his orchestra, but this one did not accept the work proposal.

Mr. Horacio, creates; that Mr. Baltazar, offers to him to work with him, because when occurring account of ambien drug free prescription sample state of health of gift Carlos, the orchestra would possibly be disintegrated, since gift Horacio did not indicate complete security in continuing to the front.

For gift Horacio, in first instance, to direct the orchestra it meant a responsibility that later was translated like opportunity to demonstrate itself to itself and its father if it were it or no, doing in music - as expressed it.

But so it seems that the transmission of the musical office did not pause there, Mr. Horacio Naranjo Garibay married thirty and six years ago (1960) with Mrs Teresa Macias. From this union Horacio Naranjo Macias is born, the smaller son of a total of six, four live (Adriana, Veronica, Patricia and Horacio) and two ambien drug free prescription sample when being born (a man and a woman).

And as if history wanted to repeat itself, Horacio son, has 25 years of age at the moment, but from the fifteen it decides to integrate itself to the orchestra. It attended ambien drug free prescription sample second until it and later it ambien drug free prescription sample classes from solfeo in the University Institute of beautiful Arts of the University of Colima (IUBA).

In agreement with information provided by Do6na Teresa (its breast), I could realize that as much gift Horacio as to her cost work to them to accept that his ambien drug free prescription sample had decided to enter the orchestra, ambien ambien buy cheap online before to have finished a race.

Do6na Teresa comments on the matter:

My husband ambien cr pic I insisted to him that she continued studying, but he always refused ambien cr pic continuing My husband made see him that the ambien drug free prescription sample of the orchestra was a heavy task, a work very sacrificed, that did not think that it went to be easy, that it had to hold sleeplessness, fatigue and pressures, but nor thus understood and it will see there it of musician in the orchestra.

The previous testimony, reflects like the conception of music no longer evaluated like producing source of pleasing, no longer perceived like means of expression of feelings to which all human being must right to live; but rather, as a form of ambien drug free prescription sample more in the daily life; this repels so that in the family the musical practice acquires a particular meaning: heavy task, difficult task sleeplessness, fatigue, pressure. On the ambien ambien buy cheap online hand, it reflects also the importance that has for the family the study of a professional race; here studying music is equivalent to not to occupy a preponderant place within the field of the education.

I ask myself which is the reason of wanting to truncate the desire of the son? , why not to give the freedom him to choose.

I venture myself ambien drug free prescription sample ambien drug free prescription sample that this reaction, is due to on protection that the parents offer their children.

When asking to him Horacio Naranjo Macias, on which it had been ambien drug free prescription sample reason to follow the same office of its father, it responded to me:

I would not like that the unique inheritance that ambien ambien buy cheap online to my grandfathers father him, as is it the ambien ambien buy cheap online someday hands over other, that was not of anybody of the family.

From this answer I could get to conclude that ambien drug free prescription sample intention to enter to work in the orchestra, is for the purposes of being able to occupy ambien drug free prescription sample certain moment the place of its father - ambien drug free prescription sample that indeed later he himself confirmed it to ambien drug free prescription sample -

I want to be preparation for when my papa she gets tired and she stops working, he already has worked much, I want that of account in what moment I can with ambien drug free prescription sample package.

And music returns to be perceived like source of work, but also like a familiar tradition that it does not want that he is lost. Horacio son makes its interest explicit in which the musical tradition is continued maintaining lives. And in fact many possibilities that exist this is fulfilled, since for three years contracted nuptials and at the moment it has a son of almost two years of age, that already indicates affinity by music. For example: It likes to be present in the tests of the orchestra, Mrs Teresa (its maternal grandmother) made an equal suit to him to which they carry the musicians of the orchestra when they have presentation and when the family attends some event where she brightens up the orchestra, dress it to the boy in this suit. In addition the majority to their toys, really simulates to be musical instruments. My hypothesis so far is that it is the one who conforms the sixth generation of musicians in the family. When I make east commentary to him to the family, collection an enemy counterattack to that they show to have with Horacio son, that is to say; in this case I have observed gestures that express pride and satisfaction from which the boy could get to be musical like his father, grandfathers, great-grandfather, tatarabuelo etc.

Relation between the familiar ambien drug free prescription sample trajectory and the musical tradition of the orchestra.

The musical trajectory ambien drug free prescription sample the family, has been ambien drug free prescription sample very important pillar, that it has allowed that the orchestra ambien cr pic the Colorado Naranjo, ambien cr pic already a musical tradition, not only in the state ambien cr pic Sights on, but ambien cr pic in other geographic spaces of the country, as is the case of all the south of Jalisco, that is where most frequently they are contracted; also they have appeared in Michoacán, Nayarit, ambien drug free prescription sample San Luis, Mazatlán, Guanajuato, Toluca, Querétaro, Federal District, Coahuila - among others - ambien drug free prescription sample it is already tradition that every year and as of 1984 the orchestra is in charge in full dress to brighten up the dance of from Leon Club of of city Constitution, in La Paz Baja California, by such reason, was denominated Official Orchestra of the Club of from Leon one of this place.

The musical production of the orchestra, has been described and recognized by agents specialized in the musical field, as it ambien drug free prescription sample the case of the Teacher Francisco Javier González, whom there by the year of 1965, it recommended to the Orchestra of the Colorado Naranjo, so that in his place it brightened up the dance of graduation of the Cadets of the Air Force in Zapopán, Jalisco; who to know the quality interpretative the orchestra - because already they had alternated in other together places - is that she yields the invitation to him. This action ambien drug free prescription sample the part of the González teacher, contradicts what the Czech writer Milan Kundera (5), says about that the comrade does not see in the worker of her same specialty a ambien drug free prescription sample but to a competitor. Since in ambien drug free prescription sample situation the opposite pronounces itself.

This question allows to reflect in the paper that carries out the accumulation of certain type of capitals, on the one hand, by means of the symbolic capital (6), the orchestra ambien cr pic to acquire the share capital (7). It is indeed by these two capitals that ambien cr pic orchestra manages to count half on its own one of transport. ambien cr pic Horacio talk that managed to buy the bus of the orchestra, thanks to the support that offered the Exgobernador him of the State; Lic. Francisco Velasco Curiel, who when seeing the musical quality of the orchestra, provides the necessary money to him for the ambien cr pic of the vehicle, giving him comfortable ambien drug free prescription sample to cover the debt.

With ambien drug free prescription sample to the participation of the orchestra in this dance, Mr. Horacio, comments:

Memory, that during this dance in full dress, was by hand developed a hand with ambien drug free prescription sample famous orchestra of I read Acosta, ambien drug free prescription sample was as much ambien cr pic enthusiasm of the people (approximately two thousands) who were in that event. That it at night gave beginning ambien ambien buy cheap online ten of the previous day, they were already the eight in the morning of the following day ambien ambien buy cheap online they even continued dancing and they did not want to stop dancing and nonpodiamos to stop touching. To several of the presentations that have done the orchestra in the city of Sights on, and that I have been able to attend, I have confirmed that also is prophet in its earth, since she begins to touch people do not stop to dance.

But which is the secret that has the orchestra ambien drug free prescription sample please to its public? , What is what it has ambien drug free prescription sample to the orchestra during long active time.

An answer perhaps attempt, but valid until certain point; it consists basically of the implicit relation that exists between a public and a supply, in this musical case, this relation does that in certain situations as much the public as the supply gets to carry out a complicity mechanism, that ambien drug free prescription sample to say, in the case of the orchestra, public and supply they are ambien drug free prescription sample mutually; and this repels so that the orchestra ambien ambien buy cheap online characterized by its interpretative versatility and it is distinguished of the other musical groups that complement a musical ambien drug free prescription sample for example: northern mariachi, band, sets ambien cr pic The orchestra knows that his public is heterogenous and also he knows that what to this one it likes is the variety that characterizes to its musical repertoire; but the public is not ingenuous either, this is reflected through a series of oral testimonies of people who respond why they ambien ambien buy cheap online the music that interprets the orchestra.

The Lic. Juan Parker Chávez in an interview commented:

I ambien drug free prescription sample the orchestra because she interprets ambien drug free prescription sample that was fashionable around World War II, music that composed, touched and recorded Gleen Miller; and music that the ambien drug free prescription sample Bands of the United States recorded and that somehow; ambien drug free prescription sample are melodies touch that them with great magistralidad, but at the same time does not pass the taste of much people like American Patrol, Serenade in the light of the moon, that ambien ambien buy cheap online famous to Gleen Miller, but the orchestra has an ample repertoire; because it touches of everything.

Mrs Mercedes Holy Whistles says:

I like ambien drug free prescription sample revive the memory, revive the time of danzón, but also remembers one to its grandparents, their papas and what they danced and that is very tuna because causes that one returns that one ambien drug free prescription sample I like all type of music, but because she draws attention to me the one that touches the orchestra. On the other hand, Mrs Lupita Bristle of Casso thinks the following thing:

Like the orchestra of the Colorado Naranjo; there is no another one, although ambien drug free prescription sample musical sets exist, cannot be compared with the orchestra, because this headress of all type of then music and is taste for all.

Mrs Teresa Villa Towers says:

I like the orchestra, because she touches of everything, from long ago to the modern thing In the family just we know that there will be a dance where it will brighten up the orchestra and there it has to us.

The testimony of Mrs Josefina Ruelas ambien drug free prescription sample finishes complementing the previous ones. The orchestra ambien drug free prescription sample old and young fame because it has music for and ambien drug free prescription sample all we were contentments. These opinions besides reflecting ambien drug free prescription sample taste and satisfaction by the music that the orchestra includes in its repertoire, also speak of the social representation that determined social actors of the daily life; they do of a certain object.

These testimonies abren veins to study how the public perceives socially the musicians? , which are the criteria of perception, valuation and action that determines the office of the musician.

Certainly, the orchestra touches of everything, includes/understands ambien cr pic its repertoire ambien cr pic variety in rates and sorts, ambien cr pic had their time of influence; as it is the case of vals; blues; tango; Fox-trot; famous mambo, cha-cha-cha, the jazz, swing, Charleston and bolero; also, it includes modern ballads that have achieved great success and diffusion in mass media like the radio and the television.

The orchestra interprets from Huapango de Moncayo and Rusticana Cavalry, to the ventanita and brown Skin, to mention some.

The way that until today has crossed ambien cr pic orchestra, has been a simple task, have been years of much work, dedication and gives; ambien drug free prescription sample order ambien cr pic continue maintaining ambien drug free prescription sample quality interpretative it characterizes that it, they subject to long days where the tests are not less than five hours daily. They count on a teacher of ambien drug free prescription sample to prepare itself better, on the intention to every time please better its public. And perhaps to that it must that even with the presence of the musical slope that arises during the Fifties that ambien cr pic to say, electronic and electroacústica music, the orchestra continues brightening up infinity of social ambien ambien buy cheap online special graduations, baptisms, weddings, commemorations - among others - in which I have been able to state that from children to old they dance to the compass that this one touches to them. The recognition to this musical trajectory has made it deserving to the tribute, that the past ambien drug free prescription sample of Julio of 1996, the H. ambien drug free prescription sample council of Sights on through the Direction of Culture, Recreation and Sport, of the government of the state, carried out in one - if it is not that the unique space - socially defined to realise events that mark a distinction within the legitimate culture in Sights on, as it is it the theater Noble.

The Lic. Juan Parker Chávez, participant of the Organizing Committee of the event, commits about the reasons to pay this tribute, ambien cr pic well as why in the theater the Noble.

It is a recognition to that or has given a triumph, to that either has a trajectory and to ambien cr pic or has sufficient merits gained to pulse and considering the trajectory of the Orchestra of Horacio Colorado Naranjo, we have seen that this orchestra has been present in all the movements: cultural and popular that has occurred in the state, and that beyond some form went, in spite of the proliferation of other sets, of another style to make pop music If we wanted to enumerate the reasons would be of the way that follows: continuous saying the informant:

1. - Many years of work and it is present in the social life of Sights on.

2. - The consolidation of the Orchestra in spite of economic problems.

3. - The persistence in spite of the proliferation of small groups that saved costs in the social events.

4. - The new musical modalities (modern Rock, sets, the gruperas music disc, bands).

5. - Its adaptation to the variation of tastes ambien cr pic the pop music.

6. - The integration of the group like so, since it is very difficult to maintain several people united, if it is not by the taste and satisfaction to be ambien drug free prescription sample of an important musical group.

7. - ambien drug free prescription sample recognition ambien drug free prescription sample the Orchestra in the colimense society and many places of the rear area. These are only some of the reasons by which the H. City council of Sights on, organized east tribute. Reasons than ambien drug free prescription sample sufficient to recognize a great orchestra ".

With ambien drug free prescription sample to which it has been in the theater Noble said:

It ambien drug free prescription sample there, because one thought to give an ambien drug free prescription sample frame to the tribute, that is to say, to make the presentation of the unique ambien ambien buy cheap online that was ambien ambien buy cheap online that event, perhaps ambien drug free prescription sample had been possible to do in an open space but this would have cleared him the tribute meaning; we know that the orchestra touches in spaces ambien ambien buy cheap online kiosco, in Casinos of Fairs, but one thought thus to give a special category him; a formal dimension to the act, because it was a formal ceremony, perhaps in another abierto space, would have been ambien ambien buy cheap online so that there was more people and until it had danced but the characteristic would have taken off him to do a formal tribute to him to the orchestra; I must say that much people thought that they had made better it in another side to be dancing with the ambien drug free prescription sample but no, because then it had been dance in honor of the people who were present and ambien cr pic she was which the orchestra was the homenajeada one.

This testimony allows to think how the space defines the classification of the event; it gives tracks to understand the criteria us of perception and classification of the social reality. How the space defines the attitude and the behavior of the social actor. There is no doubt that the analysis of the encounter, the situations - that Goffman reference does (8); as well as the social spaces, are a great vein of study that is not due to ignore in this project.

Final commentaries

Music ambien ambien buy cheap online expression ambien ambien buy cheap online ambien drug free prescription sample culture and the communication is a very complex social phenomenon. The investigations on this ambien drug free prescription sample must apliar their approaches. Music ambien drug free prescription sample human discipline that is, will have to contemplate the methodologic contributions of diverse disciplines of social sciences. Sociology, the anthropology, psychology, history, the linguistic one and without leaving to a side the communication ambien ambien buy cheap online among others - must much offer to the interested ones in approaching this subject from a dimension of denser analysis.

In the project that still is in marcaha, music has appeared to be an element of cultural ambien drug free prescription sample when, has a symbolic component whenever ambien drug free prescription sample forms part of a configuration system and social representation, that the social actor, madifiesta from the individual experience shared by a group with regard to an object that has own characteristics of identity.
