%0 Journal Article %T En la pampa los diablos andan sueltos: Demonios danzantes de la fiesta del santuario de La Tirana In the Pampa the Devils are roaming loose: Dancing Devils in the Feast of the Shrine of La Tirana %A Alberto D¨ªaz Araya %J Revista musical chilena %D 2011 %I Universidad de Chile %X Este art¨ªculo analiza a los danzantes que para la fiesta de La Tirana visten trajes de demonios. Se denominan localmente como diablos sueltos. Tanto los componentes etnohist¨®ricos y el universo simb¨®lico de sus atributos como bailarines son estudiados. Para este efecto se releva informaci¨®n social, cultural y musical de los diablos y se destaca que la autonom¨ªa de los bailarines es su principal condici¨®n, al no pertenecer a ninguna cofrad¨ªa religiosa que asiste a este significativo santuario del Norte de Chile. The article deals with those dancers clad as devils in the feast of La Tirana who are known locally as loose devils. Both the ethnohistoric components and the symbolic universe of their attributes as dancers are studied. Social, cultural and musical data about the devils are presented. The autonomy of the dancers is outlined as their main feature as they do not belong to any of the religious groups attending the feast at this important shrine in Northern Chile. %K diablos sueltos %K danzas %K La Tirana %K Norte de Chile %K loose devils %K dances %K La Tirana %K Northern Chile %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-27902011000200004
