Essay on Chicano
Track 12, El Zacamandú (Antonio Maciel)
Lyrics of El Zacamandu
Genre: Son Huasteco
Composer: Anonymous
Performer: Antonio Maciel
The song was performed by Antonio Maciel. The song is dedicated to men-women relationships and the inability of men to resist to the charm of women. The song conveys the idea that men always love women for their charm and female features, which they may dislike at times, but, which they adore overall. The song is the ultimate manifestation of men’s love to women. The performer used the falsetto register
The music played during the song was performed by the trio consisting of a guitar quinta huapanguera, which is a five course, eight stringed guitar-like instrument, a jarana huasteca, which is a stringed instrument related to the jarana, and a violin. The violin has played a particularly important part during the performance. The violin performance was flamboyant and very passionate with a profound impact on the audience and the perception of the song.
The instrumental part supported the performer, while, at some moments, the violent seemed to replace the performer and took the main part. On the other hand, the performance of the song was very emotional not only due to the use of violin along with quinta huapanguera and jarana huasteca but also and mainly due to the performance of the singer, Antonio Maciel, who was very emotional and conveyed the song from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, the song conveys the message of men’s love to women, respect to and admiration with women. The performer and three musical instruments performing their part in the song were the perfect match to emphasize the message of the song.
