The present degree work is oriented to the realization of three musical arrangements of two Ecuadorian rhythms, such as: albazo and pasacalle, to merge them with the musical elements of rock and thus achieve the dissemination of national music through the arrangements written for this format contemporary rock band. For this, the works of the Ecuadorian composers Carlos Rubira Infante and Rubén Uquillas have been selected. Before starting with the arrangements, an exhaustive historical investigation is carried out on the two Ecuadorian rhythms and the rock genre, all this including their rhythmic, harmonic and melodic characteristics. Then, the authors Walter Piston, Samuel Adler and Kawakami are taken as references, the latter conducting a study more focused on the arrangement of popular music, in order to strengthen knowledge regarding existing arranging techniques. Next, the original works are analyzed and then the three arrangements are made and analyzed. For the analysis, we proceed to review the book "Analysis of musical style" by the author Jan LaRue, which is based on a qualitative analysis of harmony, melody and rhythm.
