Ojos Tristes
Trovador, or in my case should I say trovadora. This style of music is one that I was not familiar with prior to this class. Can't say that it's particularly my favorite music style, but I've grown to appreciate it. It's very different from the ranchera music style which I'm very much accustom to.
As I listened to different songs and read about how the song Peregrina came about, I realized the just a Story mentioned in class, the woman always played a very passive role. Always sung to, admired, passive beings.
I wanted to depict what it would be like for the woman to be the one serenading, the one standing outside of the house waiting, waiting to see if there would be a response. A response that might or might not come. Having done many serenades, always on behalf of others and not myself, I can say that it's a very nerve wrenching experience for those dedicating the serenade. A lot of uncertainty that the person won't respond as expected and that all efforts will go down the drain. However, until I do my own personal serenade, cannot fully confirm the feelings felt. Until then, I will continue with these assumptions.
