What does it mean to play "someone else's music"? Intimate Distance
delves into this question through a focus on Bolivian musicians who
tour Japan playing Andean music and Japanese audiences, who often
go beyond fandom to take up these musical forms as hobbyists and
even as professional musicians. Michelle Bigenho conducted part of
her ethnographic research while performing with Bolivian musicians
as they toured Japan. Drawing on interviews with Bolivian musicians
as well as Japanese fans and performers of these traditions,
Bigenho explores how transcultural intimacy is produced at the site
of Andean music and its performances.Bolivians and Japanese
involved in these musical practices often express narratives of
intimacy and racial belonging that reference shared but unspecified
indigenous ancestors. Along with revealing the story of Bolivian
music's route to Japan and interpreting the transnational staging
of indigenous worlds, Bigenho examines these stories of closeness,
thereby unsettling the East-West binary that often structures many
discussions of cultural difference and exotic fantasy.
