一年一度的Waila节
地方性遗产
猜到了吗？waila是一种社交舞音乐，又名「鸡抓」(chicken
scratch)音乐；土桑市一年一度的Waila节，就是以waila音乐为主要
的节庆内容。
Waila音乐来自于托赫诺奥哈姆族(Tohono
O'odham)，索诺拉沙漠的原住民，也是亚利桑那南部最大的印地安部落。Waila(念做why-la)是奥哈姆族语，源自于西班牙字：baile，意即「来跳舞」。waila音乐没有歌词，只有曲
调，演奏乐器为按键式手风琴、中音萨克斯风、六弦低音电吉他及鼓。
Waila源起于早期的小提琴乐团，由索诺拉北部的欧洲及墨西哥音乐改编而来。waila的常规舞曲为waila(类似波尔卡舞曲)、chote(根据苏格兰或德国的民俗舞曲改编而成)及mazurka(根据一种波兰民俗舞曲改编而成)；无论节奏为何，搭配waila舞曲时，舞池内的人一律呈逆时针方向旋转。
Would you ever guess that 'waila' was a kind of social dance music? Also known as "chicken scratch" music, waila music is featured at the Annual Waila Festival in Tucson.
Waila music comes from the Tohono O'odham, the native people of the Sonoran desert and the largest Indian tribe of southern Arizona. Waila (pronounced why-la) is an O'odham word that comes from the Spanish word "baile," which means "to dance." There are no words to waila music -- it is only instrumental, and is played on a button accordion, alto saxophone, electric six-string and bass guitars, and drums.
Waila began from the music of early fiddle bands that adapted European and Mexican tunes heard in northern Sonora. The dances performed in the waila tradition are the waila (which is similar to a polka), the chote (based on a folk dance from Scotland or Germany), and the mazurka (based on a Polish folk dance). Regardless of the beat, all waila dances are performed while moving around the floor in a counterclockwise direction.
