Compare and contrast the Quichua and African-Ecuadorian sanjuán examples

What will be an ideal response?


• Similarities: same basic sanjuán genre, double-couplet verse structure, comparable tempo, and short-long-short rhythmic marker.
• Differences:
• While similar rhythmic patterns are used in individual phrases of the African-Ecuadorian sanjuán, the phrases lack the exact isorhythmic phrase structure of Quichua sanjuánes.
• The African-Ecuadorian sanjuán has syncopation (misplaced accents); the Quichua sanjuan does not.
• There is different instrumentation in the sanjuán examples—for example, harp, golpe (time beater) and singer in one of the Quichua sanjuanes versus singers, lead (requinto) guitar, and guiro (scraper) in the African-Ecuadorian sanjuán.
