Joan Blasco

about

Talkling about Joan Blasco is talking twice about the "dolçaina". He was born in Torres Torres (Camp de Morvedre, Valencia), and he learned to play the "dolçaina" with his teacher Sanfeliu. He toured all over Valencia and Spain with his dolçaina many times together with his sons playing the "tabalW and lather also the "dolçaina". He has also gone abroad to represent Valencian culture with his instrument. Probably he won't be remembered for his extense musical works, he will be for being the father of the modern "dolçaina". Blasco took up the instrument in a time when it was about to dissapear because of its fall into disuse. At the same time he was travelling around, he took up again the songs, dancings and typical tocatas of every village he visited, to reproduce them and rescue the traditions. Its thanks to him that many villages have not lost ancient musical pieces. He also worked on the standardization of the instrument, because when he took it every musician had a "dolçaina" tuned in a different way and it was very difficult to play it together with other people. After a meticulous study, he decided to leave the tuning in SOL and in the workshops of the lathe operator from Segorbe Vivó, started to manufacture the first models of what we know today as "dolçaina" in SOL. In this way he could also start to transcribe into musical language all this songs collected all over the villages. He has formed most of the actual teachers of dolçaina and tabal of Valencia and fo
