“Aires colombianos formando mejores humanos” con estudiantes de grado octavo I.E La Merced

Abstract

The I.E. La Merced is located in the municipality of Mosquera Cundinamarca. The project is aimed at eighth grade students, who belong to dysfunctional families, separated parents, domestic violence, displaced by violence and others. They are girls and young people who post pandemic have shown a high degree of aggressiveness, intolerance, disrespect towards their classmates and teachers, little interest in academics and are reluctant to abide by the rules. One factor that may influence their behavior is possibly linked to the type of music they listen to, such as popular music, reggaeton, rap and other urban genres, and they often see these singers as their idols. While it is true that within these genres there are good motivational messages, rhythms and positive lyrics, we cannot ignore that many compositions incite violence, sex, drug use and rebellion. What is intended with this proposal, without prohibiting or stigmatizing their musical tastes, is to give them another alternative music to listen to and play, such as Colombian music and specifically in this proposal, folklore of the Andean region, which has very descriptive lyrics of their people, a sense of belonging to the native customs and family unity and that can generate in them a necessary inner peace in difficult times of social crisis.
