Taking as a thread the concept of national identity, this book
elucidates the sound transformations that have taken place in the
world of the Latin American art song since its appearance in the
late nineteenth century to the present day. The book focuses in the
art songs of Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, and
Colombia. The book addresses the subject of performance practice of
the Latin American song and ends with a proposal for its
interpretation. In songs, spaces of representation and cathartic
tools thought, language and music have been at the service of some
interests, fulfilling specific functions in the construction of the
nation. In them, we observe that the construction of identity is a
continuous, constant and changing process in which different
stories are superimposed. Seen this way, songs are historical texts
where social interactions are reflected, and the past, the present
and the future are constantly negotiated. The book also addresses
the subject of performance practice of the Latin American song and
ends with a proposal for its interpretation.
