What are the two types of music performed at a Cotacachi-area child’s wake? How are they different from each other (including their different functions)?
What will be an ideal response?
• Sanjuán (sung or instrumental dance music in eight-beat phrases and simple meter)
• Vacación (non-dance music for harp alone without meter and in long, descending cycles.
• Vacación music is used at the beginning of the wake to drive away the devil and again later to accompany the adorning of the child and the closing of the casket.
