When thinking of indigenous music, many people may imagine acoustic
instruments and pastoral settings far removed from the whirl of
modern life. But, in contemporary Peru, indigenous chimaycha music
has become a wildly popular genre that is even heard in the
nightclubs of Lima. In Making Music Indigenous, Joshua Tucker
traces the history of this music and its key performers over fifty
years to show that there is no single way to "sound indigenous."
The musicians Tucker follows make indigenous culture and identity
visible in contemporary society by establishing a cultural and
political presence for Peru's indigenous peoples through activism,
artisanship, and performance. This musical representation of
indigeneity not only helps shape contemporary culture, it also
provides a lens through which to reflect on the country's past.
Tucker argues that by following the musicians that have championed
chimaycha music in its many forms, we can trace shifting meanings
of indigeneity--and indeed, uncover the ways it is constructed,
transformed, and ultimately recreated through music.
