In Musicians in Transit Matthew B. Karush examines the
transnational careers of seven of the most influential Argentine
musicians of the twentieth century: Afro-Argentine swing guitarist
Oscar Aleman, jazz saxophonist Gato Barbieri, composer Lalo
Schifrin, tango innovator Astor Piazzolla, balada singer Sandro,
folksinger Mercedes Sosa, and rock musician Gustavo Santaolalla. As
active participants in the globalized music business, these artists
interacted with musicians and audiences in the United States,
Europe, and Latin America and contended with genre distinctions,
marketing conventions, and ethnic stereotypes. By responding
creatively to these constraints, they made innovative music that
provided Argentines with new ways of understanding their nation's
place in the world. Eventually, these musicians produced
expressions of Latin identity that reverberated beyond Argentina,
including a novel form of pop ballad; an anti-imperialist,
revolutionary folk genre; and a style of rock built on a pastiche
of Latin American and global genres. A website with links to
recordings by each musician accompanies the book.
