PAMPLONA, 31 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Federation of Music Bands of Navarra (FBM) has launched the project ‘Music in the village kiosk. The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Band Music in the Foral Community of Navarra and the role of bands as transmission and safeguarding agents’ with which it wants to safeguard the heritage and value the role of the musical bands of the Foral Community.
The results of the project, beneficiary of one of the grants from the Sustraiak 2021 Call, will be presented at the concert that the federation is going to offer this Sunday at the Barañáin Auditorium.
As explained by the FBM in a note, the project has had an investigation phase that began last spring and that had the participation of people linked to the gangs through the completion of questionnaires that the Federation sent to the bands that make it up and that they were in charge of distributing among its members.
Among the objectives of the questionnaires are “the identification of the most identifying elements of their repertoire, the evaluation of the risks that threaten their continuity or that of the bands themselves and the collection of proposals to reverse this situation.” The final result was 95 answers obtained corresponding to 38 localities of the 55 that make up the Federation.
The analysis of the information gathered has led to a report that includes a safeguard action plan focused on five interrelated axes: the collection and adequate conservation of the associated tangible heritage that is part of the history of each band; the compilation of oral testimonies that “allow to know in greater depth the musical background of each locality and that value the role of the bands and their members not only as musical performers but also from the perspective of repertoire generation”; the visibility of their “active role” as cultural agents at the local level but also throughout the Autonomous Community through dissemination tools (web, social networks …); the promotion of new research that “allows us to delve into aspects not only musical but also social”, such as the participation of women; and the development of synergies with the educational community.
In this last area, two didactic units have been designed aimed at the last cycle of Primary and the Music Schools.
