Abstract
The main purpose of my work has been to put in value the tradition of the Valle del Mantaro and the essential role of the saxophone on the Orquesta Típica that accompanies all their festivities. To do this, I have investigated, document and recreate the music of the Valle del Mantaro, as a way of example so it can inspire other musical forms and give it a global reach. The focus of the investigation has been Jauja, very representative of the music of Valle del Mantaro (Peru). And the work was limited to three musical genres: huaylijía, jija and tunantada, from among many other existing genres. This project is the first step that is being made to make the world know about the Valle del Mantaro tradition. Taking the music around the world and letting musicians play it, will help to universalize this special language and way of expressing with the saxophone. The hope is that it inspires saxophone players and musicians to travel to Peru and go to the Valle del Mantaro to experience the immense power of the saxophone and it ́s dances surrounded by astonishing nature. This project will contribute to my professional career as an educator, performer, and consolidate my image as a Peruvian Cultural Ambassador.
