Abstract
This project represents for me the possibility to deepen my musical exploration from the composition, arrangements and piano adaptations of different rhythms of the world, with a main axis that is the Currulao rhythm of the Colombian Pacific, finding connections and creating conversations between different languages as Afro-latin rhythms and Flamenco music. I have also expressed my creative processes and findings in terms of rhythmic, harmonic, melodic language. It should be noted that the development of these processes is purely personal and from a respectful perspective, which has no comparison nor replaces the traditional practices of these musics and the contexts in which they are developed. It is definitely an experimental approach to these languages, which have enriched and inspired me for several years of my life, thanks to my family context, the people with whom I have been fortunate to connect and share, the musical groups in which I have worked, festivals and research spaces in Colombia.
