| Abstract | This book explores how the people of the Mantaro Valley have addressed concerns over the loss of ancient traditions by restructuring colonial and pre-Hispanic traditions into new contexts and forms within the festival system and dance-drama. Covering private and public music making, along with ritual, ceremonial, and popular uses of music, Romero conducts an in-depth study of the interaction of music and identity. This volume describes a modern regional culture as it struggles to build a distinct cultural identity through the diversity of musical styles. This book will be invaluable to ethnomusicologists and anthropologists interested in Latin America. |
