La guitarra de Alejandro Marcovich en Caifanes: transcripción, análisis, e interpretación de la guitarra líder de 4 canciones del rock en español.

Abstract

The work that you will see below, exposes the technical and interpretive style of Alejandro Marcovich's lead guitar, through the transcription and analysis of 4 songs recorded by him together with the rock group Caifanes, on his album "El Nervio Del Volcán". Together with the musical aspect, this writing also seeks and implies, the recognize the history, significance and quality of rock musicians spanish-speaking, that is, of ourselves, who to a greater or lesser extent have suffered the famous “malinchismo” that Marcovich speaks of in his book “Vida y Música de Alejandro Marcovich”, (2018). This word (malinchismo = malinche), used in Mexico, it refers to people who show attachment or preference to the foreigner and contempt for their own (… for this case we can call it “Spanish-speaking musical rocker malinchismo”). Due to this, it is difficult to find academic texts that address rock musicians in Spanish, or their guitarists, compared to the large amount of academic and extra-academic information that we can find on Anglo-Saxon rock musicians. I want to encourage my colleagues to rediscover us, and be an active part of the construction of rock history in our language.
