U.S. music owes much to Hispanic influences
By Yvonne Guzman
Kansan staff writer
U. S. music has adopted stylistic elements of Hispanic music, but it has not picked up the individuality that characterizes the Hispanic trad- tion. Doug Benson, professor of modern languages at Kansas State University.
"Country music and rock and folk songs and things have made us all pretty much alike." Benson said. "And that's not bad either. It brings people together. But it doesn't show the differences."
Benson delivered a musical presentation Friday that traced several trends in music from their birth in 16th-century Spain through their evolution in the following centuries to the forms in which they appear today.
Despite the leveling influence of popular music, the distinct sound of Hispanic music still asserts itself in U.S. music, Benson said.
The goal of the program is to share Hispanic culture with the University of Kansas community and to educate Hispanic heritage, Cervantes said.
Angela Cervantes, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said the forum was part of a series of events planned by HALO in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Benson began with a guitar performance of aristocratic songs from 16th-century Spain that showed the
influence of standard European classical music.
But popular Spanish music was influenced more strongly by Arabian and North African music, Benson said. These trends were present before the British invasion of Spain in 711 and of Spain's proximity to Africa.
"Spain is only eight and a half miles from Africa," Benson said. "And the influence is very strong. Obviously, if people are near to each other, they're going to start picking things up from each other, especially after thousands and thousands of years."
Today, some jazz and rock music takes its influence from that tradition. Benson said.
"When you hear people making up stuff and improvising stuff in jazz, that's exactly where that tradition came from," he said. "Because it came to the United States, too, and the Southern Blacks and New Orleans and on up the river to Memphis had that same influence."
But even today, the music of each of the 18 Spanish-speaking nations bear certain common characteristics, reflecting their debt to the musicians of Spain, West Africa and the Middle East. Benson said
Those three points are the Bermuda Triangle of Hispanic music, he said.
"Nothing gets in and nothing comes out," Benson said.
