Resumen
The interest in addressing children's songs as the central focus of this work arose in 2004, the year I had my first encounter with this type of repertoire, performing a couple of didactic concerts for children, with arrangements by Juan Diego Gómez on 5 children's songs by Olga Lucía Jiménez and a composition by the arranger. For these concerts, the other performers and I decided to perform in a playful environment that would bring us closer to the child audience. We used unconventional costumes, consisting of hats, wigs, and colored overalls, decorated the instruments with flowers and paper figures, and incorporated objects known to the children on stage, related to the songs, such as cotton candy, among others. Thanks to this practical experience with this type of repertoire and other curricular and extracurricular experiences, I have discovered that Latin American children's song is an artistic field of great musical and expressive richness, which allows the singer not only to explore their instrument in different ways of execution and interpretation, but also connects them with their body, with their stage performance, and with their way of interacting with the musicians and the audience from a playful and spontaneous perspective. For this reason, the main objective of this work is to propose and explore different technical and interpretative elements, through the musical and scenic staging of eight Latin American songs for children, which reflect tools achieved in this process, as well as those acquired throughout the career, such as the vocal management of light and heavy mechanisms, the use of different articulations (legato, staccato, etc.), the exploration of different timbres or colors, or the development of various scenic resources, among others that I will mention throughout the work.
