Many people believe that the summer song is a clear indication that human evolution has not only stagnated but also entered into regression, and that today homo sapiens is nothing more than a Neanderthal with flip flops and 4G connection.

That is what they say, particularly if they are in a group and feel the need to apologize and keep up appearances. "We are going to be foolish to hear this," exclaims the human in those moments, while in his nerve endings a secret tingling begins to expand when he hears "Raising his hands", which increases in intensity when he sounds "moving his waist", and which is thrown down the spine when it arrives "with sexy movement", until a tongue of fire floods the brain and bounces all over its body and makes it scream, just like a bottle of champagne explodes: "It's the new rhythm that I bring for you!

Do not be distressed, dear congeners, for that sad rumor that the summer song leaves irreversible sequels in those who listen and / or dance is nothing more than a hoax. From Paquito el chocolatier to Snail soup , from El venao to Del pita del , all the songs that accompany us in summer are good and necessary .

A psychologist: "The summer song is very good for your health, it helps us to disconnect from the complicated issues of life we face during the rest of the year." A sociologist: «It's what makes you sister with your community. To build community is to feel united with others, and what unites more than dancing the summer song with a lot of people that you don't know at the town's festivities, with the sole purpose of having a good time ». And a neurologist: "Reinforce an emotion of joy that is reverberating in your head, predisposes you for fun."

Mayte Orozco is a health psychologist and author among other books on Psychology and music (Ed. Group 5). "The summer song is a tool to eliminate stress," he explains. «It is a simple and friendly music that helps us disconnect from the world of winter, which is that of problems. It works like an escape valve, like a medicine against stress ». In short: More King Africa and less Lexatin.

"The summer song is associated with pleasant moments like traveling, going to the disco or meeting people, and somehow our brain connects it with pleasant things , with states of pleasure," he says. The power of music over the mind is enormous, he explains: "It generates emotions and in doing so it awakens substances in the brain that modify our behaviors and thoughts."

«They are very simple and accessible songs for everyone. It is very easy for the brain to incorporate them quickly and become a familiar and pleasant pattern, ”he continues. This psychologist also graduated in Journalism confesses that the songs of the summer "love" and quotes among her favorites La Macarena . "I am very adept at these songs," he exclaims.

Cristina Cuenca is a doctor in Sociology and makes an enthusiastic defense of the song of the summer for her ability to spine. " It has an integrative social function , it is something in which we recognize each other at a given time," he says.

«In summer we feel the need to disconnect and evade ourselves, and everything that involves making you feel different will attract you, so garbage culture products prevail and it is easier to be aware of what happens in Save Me than in politics» , explains this professor of the Faculty of Sociology of the Complutense University of Madrid, who emphasizes that getting out of the routine and leaving oneself for a month or two is necessary to maintain the routine throughout the year.

"The main function of the summer song is to help you get out of the routine , which is something that continues to be an effort in terms of identity," he says. "In summer you dance three or four reggaetons, you eat things that you don't usually eat, you wear different clothes, and in September you return to your classical music, to your bedtime and to do the usual," he explains.

This music is therefore a valuable instrument in the summer toolbox. « Summer is the time to experience , to cut your hair, to get brown, to be more exposed to novelty, to go to places you may not know, to live other lives and experiences. You are less vigilant of your identity. Leaving the routine, we interpret it as fun, it helps you feel less bored, ”says Dr. Cuenca.

Our profiles on social networks are in that sense an obstacle, since they are the place where we work our personality and identity, and these "cannot go around much," explains the sociologist. "Our followers would be our fan if we put Leticia Sabater's song, they require our personality," he continues. "We live in a very individualistic society in which we have to fight a lot, but in the summer we don't have to be aware of our bosses or our followers, " he says.

The summer song is also positive for the brain's own health. «And of the cerebellum», says Dr. Manuel Arias, spokesman for the Spanish Society of Neurology. «Music is perceived, processed and lived in the brain, and always has a positive effect on it, no matter what type of music it is. It has been shown that it allows the development of certain areas of the brain and cerebellum , increasing its plasticity, and that reinforces emotions, connects us better with the world of emotions, ”he emphasizes.

In the case of the songs of the summer, " you are predisposed for the party and fun , for the enjoyment in general," explains the head of the Neurology section of the University Hospital Complex of Santiago de Compostela, who is also a musician, and was part of from the folk group Milladoiro. «When I was young I played in an orchestra to earn some money and I remember that once we were opening parties at a Formula V party, those of Eva María , maybe you remember the song». How to forget her.
