With the paper “Creating, reinterpreting and disseminating Colombian Andean music”, Professor Robinson Giraldo Villegas, attached to the School of Arts of the Universidad Industrial de Santander, participated in the Third Psychology and Music – Interdisciplinary Encounter Zagreb 2024, held in Croatia.
The UIS solidarity extension project was developed by the professor during the years 2022 and 2023. In this way, Professor Giraldo Villegas continues to generate impacts and academic results, promoting the dissemination of national folklore and contributing to the internationalization of the University.
“For me it is a great motivation to have been selected through an international call to participate in this event, because it not only benefits me professionally, but also validates and ratifies that the projects I have been developing have a certain level of originality, academic rigor and social and musical contribution. Of course, it is a great platform to promote our UIS”, says Professor Robinson.
The second, his doctoral thesis proposal entitled ‘The music of Colombian oral tradition and the bass trombone: Performer, his cultural context and culturally informed interpretation’, has among its purposes to study the interpretative approaches of a group of bass trombonists through a musical repertoire to be created and based on the indigenous community TIKUNA.
This event is organized by the Academy of Music and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb. This important academic and research event in music, which is also supported by the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music, promotes musical research through different thematic areas which, in turn, have categories. Among them: Processing music, Musical potential and development, Music performance, Music and individual differences, Music and well-being, Music and affect, Music in social contexts, among others.
Giraldo will participate in the III International Congress of Young People for Research, to be held from November 14 to 16 at the University of La Laguna, in Tenerife, Spain, where he will be a speaker, this time in person.
