| Sumario: | Since the end of the 20th century, there has been a revaluation and redefinition of the figure of José Ignacio «Chango» Rodríguez, a cordoban composer and performer. Although many of his works have circulated a lot in the repertoire of folkloric performers throughout the country, the same does not happen with his name inside and outside the Argentine territory. Given this evidence, I research how that process has been. For this reason, I study the context in which he developed his artistic activity, I analyze his compositional work and interpretations and some of the discursive strategies used by the enunciator that allow to explain how this artist got a prominent place within the cordoban folklore historical background.
The central work hypotheses postulate that:
- El «Chango» Rodríguez managed to introduce a difference within cordoban folklore that was reflected in some of the lyrics of his creations. They do not refer to the rural and creole environment of the folklore of his time, but to the life of the capital city of the province.
-To a large extent, his success has to do with having capitalized the attributed and self-perceived identity traits of the idiosyncrasy of Cordoba city: the tune, the dialect and the nightlife associated with alcohol consumption and the bohemia. That is why, I admit in this artist an antecedent of what it is now known as «cordobesismo», a political idiology that affirms the most conservative side of the provincial politics.
- I believe that the opinion of «Chango» Rodríguez’s work is strongly related to subjective and emotional aspects that have little to do with the literary or musical quality of his work. |
