In the XVII century transfers between Spain and America had reached their maturity. As a part of a centuries-old process of acculturation, Spanish celebrative models and musical production and performance structures were introduced and transmitted to American society across the entire XVI century. However, Hispanic American festivals expressed their own code with strong native characteristics. The aim of this paper is to analyze the shared and differing musical and choreographic elements of festive language in Hispanic America and Spain. We will do so by comparing several examples from the XVII century, including their musical elements and choreographic languages.
