Javier F. León and Helena Simonett curate a collection of essential
writings from the last twenty-five years of Latin American music
studies. Chosen as representative, outstanding, and influential in the
field, each article appears in English translation. A detailed new
introduction by León and Simonett both surveys and contextualizes the
history of Latin American ethnomusicology, opening the door for readers
energized by the musical forms brought and nurtured by immigrants from
throughout Latin America.
