<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:#1D2228">The improvised poetic duel is an ancient world tradition that is still present today in Latin America where it takes various forms. One of these forms is the “Payada”, which is performed
by two minstrels (<i>payadores</i>) singing and playing guitar. It has become a ritual performance with a special structure and inherent symbolism. Both of these aspects are drawn on in both the private context and during shows, festivities and Cultural Performances
(Singer 1972).<br>
The Payada phenomenon is performed with firm respect for traditional gender conventions. Its main objective is to compete by means of drawing on a variety of resources and types of poetic license, in order to prove which performer has the best skills in the
art of poetic improvisation within the musical genres of each region. Expression varies is accordance with the audience and the context in which the performance takes place. Generally, it involves not only poetic art but also rhetorical and argumentative
skill. The Payada has a three-part structure: the beginning iin which the <i>payador</i> introduces himself and/or greets the audience; the confrontation of ideas itself, and then finally a farewell. In performative terms, the art of <i>Payada</i> echoes the
various phases of performance described by Richard Schechner (1994) in his studies of theatrical performances from the East and West: training, workshops, rehearsals, warm-ups, performance, relaxation and consequences. Improvised duels of this kind involving
contests by two or more poets are a widely accepted global phenomenon. Payada as a particular kind of musical poetic confrontation is nonetheless an important part of an Iberoamerican tradition and involves a very unique genre of discourse. Case studies of
the art from Argentina, Chile and Uruguay will be presented.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#1D2228"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
