Abstract

The sung narratives of milking and herding songs belong to the Plain Land Works Songs of Colombian and Venezuelan Orinoquia, recognized as National Immaterial Patrimony of Colombia and Humanity Immaterial Patrimony by UNESCO. These narratives consist of own cultural manifestations of the llanero town, which have been conveyed along generations through a vast oral tradition, and it saves a close relationship with the agricultural and cattle raising activities developed in the llanera region since the colonial period. This study proposes a recovery of the milking and herding songs at Maní (Casanare), the epicenter of llanero folklore, from recommendations established by the Plan Especial de Salvaguardia that indicates the need of advancing urgent actions for preserving and conveying these cultural expressions. In this way, this investigation proposes a qualitative methodology in which, through semi-structured interviews and an ethnographic inquiry with local experts, it is presented a pedagogical instrument design that allows contact between new generations and oral traditions through the literature and Spanish language subject, into the scholarly context. In this manner, this project locates its action core in the didactic of cultural manifestations, propitiating a direct link between bearers of living memory and the academic community, promoting and strengthening cultural identity.
