Abstract
El acordeón es uno de los instrumentos que mejor ha sabido consolidar su presencia en algunas de las tradiciones musicales más representativas del folklore europeo contemporáneo. Del mismo modo, desde su llegada a América Latina, este instrumento se incorporó a algunas de las tradiciones musicales más características de países como Argentina, Chile, México o Colombia. El Perú, al igual que la mayoría de países latinos, también incorporó el acordeón en algunas de sus expresiones musicales más tradicionales. Aunque su uso se asocia el día de hoy sobre todo con algunas músicas regionales andinas, este no ha logrado consolidar un lugar notorio en el imaginario musical de los peruanos. No obstante, este instrumento ejerció un papel significativo en el folklore nacional, no solo en la vertiente andina, sino que su uso fue frecuente también en la práctica musical popular de la capital. Hacia mediados del siglo XX, el acordeón gozó de un periodo de apogeo que se vio reflejado en su inserción en el mercado musical peruano y en el incremento de una actividad pedagógica que lo colocaba entre los instrumentos preferidos por los limeños; sin embargo, la evidencia más importante de este apogeo fue la introducción del acordeón como parte de la instrumentación característica de uno de los géneros musicales más representativos de la identidad nacional: el vals criollo limeño. A través del análisis de los registros musicales que han perdurado a través del tiempo (tanto los testimonios musicales escritos como la discografía), en este trabajo se demuestra el sitial que el acordeón logró consolidar en la interpretación de la música criolla desarrollada en la capital, sobre todo en el vals, entre las décadas de 1960 y 1980.
The accordion is one of the instruments that has best consolidated its presence in some of the most representative of contemporary European folk music traditions. Similarly, since its arrival in Latin America this instrument was incorporated into some of the most characteristic musical traditions from countries like Argentina, Chile, Mexico or Colombia. Peru, like most Latin countries, incorporated as well the accordion in some of its more traditional musical expressions. Although its use is especially associated with Andean regional music today, the accordion has not managed to consolidate a notorious place in the musical imaginary of Peruvians. However, this instrument had a significant role in national folklore, not only in the Andean music, but its use was also common in the popular musical practice of the capital. By the mid-twentieth century, the accordion enjoyed a heyday period that was reflected in its insertion into the Peruvian musical market and in the increase of an educational activity that placed it among the most preferred instruments by Lima; however, the most important evidence of this peak, was the introduction of the accordion feature as part of the instrumentation of one of the most representative genres of national identity: the Lima Creole waltz. Through the analysis of musical documentation that have endured over time (musical written testimonies and discography), this work shows that the accordion was consolidated in the interpretation of Creole music developed in the capital, especially in the waltz, between the 1960’s and 1980’s.
