Music,
Race, and Nation : Musica Tropical in Colombia (Chicago Studies
in Ethnomusicology) by Peter Wade
This original,
scholarly work will hold wide appeal to students of Latin American
music and culture, and provides a unique study on the music of
Columbia.
This narrow
focus goes far beyond most general 'world music' features to analyze
the roots of the musical styles in that country, considering its
rise, regional struggles, and the effects of local styles on Columbian
politics and culture as a whole. Narrow, yes: but the focus will
prove essential for any studying Columbian history. (Amazon.com)
