Abstract
This study examined the cultural and folk music characteristics of Colombia as portrayed in Disney's animated film “En-canto”. It focused on the analysis of prominent songs that prominently feature the characteristics of Vallenato, a Colombian folk music genre, such as “The Family Madrigal” and “Colombia Mi En-canto”. Specifically, the study analyzed the utilization of traditional musical instruments in the Vallenato ensemble, musical elements, as well as rhythm and melody. Furthermore, it explored how Colombian folk music elements and contemporary musical elements are integrated within the music of “En-canto”. The research also delved into the unique features of Vallenato as depicted in the lyrics of the songs. Through this research, we aim to provide an understanding of how “En-canto” reflects the diverse cultural influences on Colombian folk music and to present new perspectives and possibilities within the fields of Latin American and Colombian folk music research.
