Educational display of musical instruments around the musical genre of the jota.
Lecture by Pablo Zamarrón Yuste in which we will discuss musical instruments that have come down to us through tradition: description, materials, sound principle, environment and circumstances of their use.
The situation in which they are found will be analyzed, whether their use has disappeared or on the contrary survives, in what conditions, or if their use is in good health. Traditional rhythms and melodies will be shown, focusing on the jota or fandango.
