Extract

As an aspect of my research in Colombian folksong I examined a number of published Spanish sources in an attempt to find analogues for the texts and melodies of songs I had recorded in Colombia. By this means I hoped to determine that a particular text or melody had been diffused from Spain to Latin America. This proved feasible in the case of a small number of song texts but very difficult in the case of the melodies associated with these song texts.
