Music in Latin America and the Caribbean: An Encyclopedic History
University of Texas Press (Verlag)
978-0-292-70298-1 (ISBN)
Volume 1, Performing Beliefs: Indigenous Peoples of South America, Central America, and Mexico, focuses on the inextricable relationships between worldviews and musical experience in the current practices of indigenous groups. Worldviews are built into, among other things, how music is organized and performed, how musical instruments are constructed and when they are played, choreographic formations, the structure of songs, the assignment of gender to instruments, and ritual patterns. Two CDs with 44 recorded examples illustrate the contributions to this rich volume.
Malena Kuss is an internationally recognized musicologist specializing in Latin American music. She is Professor of Music Emeritus at the University of North Texas, Denton.
