Resumen
Existe un corpus de investigación, aún incipiente pero prometedor, en el ámbito de las actividades grupales vocales, y su impacto en la salud y el bienestar de las personas, que se sintetiza en este trabajo. En este, se aportan las evidencias más relevantes y ponen el foco en los coros amateurs de personas adultas. Se hace especial énfasis en los mecanismos generativos que relacionan el canto coral con la salud y el bienestar en las personas adultas desde cuatro perspectivas: emocional, mental, social y fisiológica. Se argumenta que un grupo coral funciona como un equipo, que existen diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en las respuestas emocionales a las actividades corales, y se aborda el canto coral amateur como una actividad de ocio formativo para la que se precisa aplicar estrategias didácticas adecuadas a un colectivo de adultos desde un enfoque andragógico. Finalmente, se presenta una reflexión crítica sobre las fortalezas y debilidades de las investigaciones realizadas hasta el momento, como la falta de sinergias entre los estudios realizados, cierto sesgo positivista que elude visualizar y analizar también los contras de la práctica coral, y la falta de indicadores musicales, de liderazgo y relacionales que podrían explicar parte de los resultados obtenidos e, incluso, limitarlos.
