Abstract

Sometimes teachers are surprised by the number of musical expressions that our students are able to identify. Intenet, Top Manta, Eurovision, Eurojunior, Operation Triumph, Song of the Summer face us with musical products of the most varied: Dance, Techno-Pop, Acid, House, Chill-Out, Hip-Hop, "Crush our ears" to saturate us. On the contrary, the auditory recognition capacity of these tendencies in the development of the current music is not a condition for the knowledge of the same from the point of view of a musical work and the overexposure to commercial musical models favors the ignorance of musical styles Popular, urban or current in previous decades. Among these great strangers are the so-called "Latin rhythms" associated with what we know as Ballroom Dancing: Cha-cha-chá, Merengue, Bachata ... which become for teenagers and young people some dances that are learned in the Physical Education class or if they go to "Ballroom Dancing" classes.
