Cumbia!: Scenes of a Migrant Latin American Music Genre by H?ctor Fern?ndez L'Ho

Description: Cumbia! by Héctor Fernández L'Hoeste, Pablo Vila Cumbia! shows how cumbia, a music that originated in Colombia and was formerly denigrated by its upper classes, has become one of the most popular musics in Latin America and a source of national pride in Colombia. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Cumbia is a musical form that originated in northern Colombia and then spread throughout Latin America and wherever Latin Americans travel and settle. It has become one of the most popular musical genre in the Americas. Its popularity is largely due to its stylistic flexibility. Cumbia absorbs and mixes with the local musical styles it encounters. Known for its appeal to workers, the music takes on different styles and meanings from place to place, and even, as the contributors to this collection show, from person to person. Cumbia is a different music among the working classes of northern Mexico, Latin American immigrants in New York City, Andean migrants to Lima, and upper-class Colombians, who now see the music that they once disdained as a source of national prestige. The contributors to this collection look at particular manifestations of cumbia through their disciplinary lenses of musicology, sociology, history, anthropology, linguistics, and literary criticism. Taken together, their essays highlight how intersecting forms of identity-such as nation, region, class, race, ethnicity, and gender-are negotiated through interaction with the music.Contributors.

This collection is both a sonic roadmap and testimony to the imagination of people across the Americas as they make some sense of their many worlds through music." - Jairo Moreno,author of Musical Representations, Subjects, and Objects "This is a significant, comprehensive, and timely collection of essays. As the essays demonstrate, cumbia is probably the most widespread rhythm in the Americas. Yet, until now, its travels and transformations have not received systematic attention, taking into account the complexities of the genres roots in northern coastal Colombia and its subsequent routes into Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and the United States. Cumbia! fills a crucial gap in the literature on Latin/o American popular music." - George Yudice,author of The Expediency of Culture: Uses of Culture in the Global Era Promotional The contributors to Cumbia! look at particular manifestations of cumbia through their disciplinary lenses of musicology, sociology, history, anthropology, linguistics, and literary criticism. Review Quote "Together [the essays] introduce the reader to a broad range of Latin American musical practices that claim their roots in a specific regional genre but mean different things in different places. Cumbia! is essential reading for anyone interested in popular music studies, music and migration, globalization, and communication."
