Memory and History in Argentine Popular Music examines Argentine
popular music of the 1990s and early 2000s that denounced,
immortalized, and reflected on the processes that led to the
socioeconomic crisis that shook Argentine society at the end of
2001. It draws upon the three most popular genres of the
time-tango, rock chabon, and cumbia villera, a form of cumbia from
the shantytowns. The book analyzes lyrics from these three genres
detailing how they capture the feel of daily life and the changes
that occurred under the neoliberal economic model that ravaged the
country throughout the '90s. The contention is that these are
canciones con historia, songs that depict historical events and
tell personal stories. Therefore, the lyrics from all three genres
serve as accounts of historical events and social and economic
changes, denouncing the social inequalities caused by neoliberal
economic policies. Furthermore, the book explores how the process
of remembering and forgetting takes place on the Internet. It
examines how users navigate video-sharing portals and use music to
create "virtual sites of memory," a term that extends Winter's
conception of physical sites of memory to digital environments as
virtual sites of commemoration.
