Abstract

The human being has been helped by nature since time immemorial, for example by making noise with bones and sticks to scare away animals. This leads us to the origin of percussion. Currently, within music education systems, there is a lack of awareness among students that they are actually making sound elements extracted from nature.

Climate change, together with macro-farms, pollution, overexploitation of natural resources, etc.. are creating a problem within society, which is in a state of dormant consciousness, where it is not able to assume that the Earth is asking for help.

Therefore, artists have a fundamental role to play in awakening these consciences, whether through artivism, music, theater, dance or painting.

Therefore, this article seeks the need to awaken the ecological percussionist performer, giving examples of artists and instruments that use nature as such and recycled elements to build their own instruments.
