The Panama Canal is a world-famous site central to the global
economy, but the social, cultural, and political history of the
country along this waterway is little known outside its borders. In
Musica Tipica, author Sean Bellaviti sheds light on a key element
of Panamanian culture, namely the story of cumbia or, as
Panamanians frequently call it, "musica tipica," a form of music
that enjoys unparalleled popularity throughout Panama. Through
extensive archival and ethnographic research, Bellaviti
reconstructs a twentieth-century social history that illuminates
the crucial role music has played in the formation of national
identities in Latin America. Focusing, in particular, on the
relationship between cumbia and the rise of populist Panamanian
nationalism in the context of U.S. imperialism, Bellaviti argues
that this hybrid musical form, which forges links between the urban
and rural as well as the modern and traditional, has been essential
to the development of a sense of nationhood among Panamanians. With
their approaches to musical fusion and their carefully curated
performance identities, cumbia musicians have straddled some of the
most pronounced schisms in Panamanian society.
