The Cielito complex : its music

Abstract

We strictly find three expressions with the distinctive name of ‘cielito’ in Argentine traditional music. That is why we refer to it as a complex comprising the three elements, which have already been distinguished under that denomination in the past. One of them is of a lyrical type while the remaining two are choreographic. We centre in the study of their music, and in the case of one of them we specifically focus in its development throughout the 20th century and its current situation –a stage dance, still in force, with its own development and great diffusion
