Abstract

Throughout history, music has changed, fused, adaptedand resurfaced in new musical genres. In Ecuador, at the time of the Spanish conquest, the music of the Incas (such as the yaraví), which more than an artistic expression was part of different rituals; it merged with European music. This miscegenation hasnot stopped and continues today with new musical genres.The present work aims at the creation of four musical works, using the fusion of rhythmic and harmonic elements of various genres of popular music including traditional Ecuadorian; cumbia with yaraví, rock with albazo, reggae with sanjuanito and ballad with tonada.It was necessary to use bibliographical data sheets to propose a definition of popular music and the historical context of Ecuadorian genres plus the explanation and application of the methodology of Jean La Rue (1989) for the analysis of compositions.The result obtained was the composition of four musical themes that have forms and styles of popular music in both foreign and Ecuadorian genres with their own style. In conclusion, it meant the creation of musical works that serve as an aesthetic and methodological guide for future compositions that make use of the fusion of universal and traditional Ecuadorian styles and genres.
