Cuasmal

Cuasmal, archeology of a musical work

Fidel Pablo Guerrero

When the nineteenth century was nearing its end in 1891, was born in the small town of Uyumbicho, in the province of Pichincha, who became a distinguished musician: Carlos Enrique Brito Benavides. His life was dedicated to the musical activity, served as creator, arranger and bandleader (and military assimilated). Among his best known works is the hall Shadows, with text by Mexican poet Rosario Sansores, who have played music from around the world, is one whose first verses When you say you have been / shadows wrap me ..., and also his eyes tempting aisles, Rosas and Your dark circles.

In 1995, when we put forth our little Dictionary of Musicians from Ecuador Mr. José Benavides Solis very fond of music (and who incidentally is not related to musician Carlos Brito Benavides) - called attention to the biography consisted of a piece the composer called Cuasmal . I requested additional information on the piece, but I had no more information than the title of the work, so we recommended him as the encontrásemos news. Fifteen years later, at the end of last year (2010) we could obtain a copy of this piece and we were finally able to communicate the findings.

As we reported what Mr. Benavides, Cuasmal is the name of a river and a county site Montúfar, near San Gabriel (Labour Procerato and National Cultural Heritage by UNESCO) formed by extensions of arable land, where people are engaged in agriculture and where they planted and harvested the potato tuber mainly, to reach Cuasmal it done through a small town called El Manzano. Also, Cuasmal is the place where it has rescued a lot of beautiful vases and, in what concerns our field-a globular flute or ocarina incredible, for all that its name has served as an extension to nominate the archaeological culture known as Gopher or Cuasmal phase, which archaeologists are between the years 1250 - 1532 AD Remains found refer to the distribution of this culture was between Pasto and Carchi.

occurs to us that perhaps the musician Carlos Brito went through that town in its bustle, as a bandleader, and for some reason he dedicated his fox Inca, taking into account the death of musician who came in 1943, guess that should be made to the years 20's-30's. We recorded this piece of music found in old records, so perhaps now is the time of registration. We have received a copy of the score raised to Central Bank officials from Ecuador, who offered to record with the participation of a good pianist, so we can send its source so that people can know this work, which he thinks Mr. Benavides should be considered a documentary heritage of music for that location.

Finally we say it is very pleased to contribute to this minimum contribution, complementing segments of the historical puzzle, even if, as in the investigation, after so much time.
