Serves as a musical ethnography of a Quechua-speaking community of Northern Potosi, in the Bolivian Andes. This work explores how music permeates the lives of this group of herders and agriculturalists. It delves into the meanings ascribed to sound; charts unfamiliar aesthetic territories; and suggests how modernity can contribute to indigeneity.
Contents: Part I Creating Context; Introduction: the poetics of production: Worlds of sound: energy, weeping and feeding: the background to music; Orchestrating the year: seasonal alternation, calendars,and power. Part II Guitars and Song: Fabricating tradition and the Macha groove: guitars, artisans, seasonality and performance; Marrying the mountain and the production of people: songs of courtship and marriage. Part III The Music of a Year; May - June Violent harmony and the making of men: julajula panpipes and harvest time; June - October Cacophony, community and the water war: saints, siku panpipes, and miraculous 'renewal'; November - January Invoking the dead and crying for rain:souls, flutes, llamas and compassion; January - February/March Disembodied voices and dancing potatoes: carnival, devils, sirens, musical creation and new potatoes. Part IV Kacharpaya - 'despatch': The fragile community: epilogue; Appendices; Character glossary; Glossary; Bibliography; Index.
