Construction of Bajo Sextos in Three Cities of Coahuila, Mexico. Tradition and Innovation in the Visual Image of the Instrument

  • Ramiro Godina Valerio

Keywords: "música norteña", bajo sexto, field, construction, innovation, visual representation, tradition.

This paper addresses the relevance of the visual representation of the bajo sexto in the current construction of this musical instrument in three cities in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. This is the result of media influences, hybridizations and searches for differentiation and belonging, both among builders and consumers. Based on qualitative research, and specifically on the ethnographic method, this approach is articulated through the concept of field Bourdieu to interpret the dialogue between tradition and innovation around the elaboration and consumption of this icon of northern music.
