Increasingly popular in the United States and Europe, Andean
panpipe and flute music draws its vitality from the traditions of
rural highland villages and of rural migrants who have settled in
Andean cities. In Moving Away from Silence, Thomas Turino describes
panpipe and flute traditions in the context of this rural-urban
migration and the turbulent politics that have influenced Peruvian
society and local identities throughout this century. Turino's
ethnography is the first large-scale study to concentrate on the
pervasive effects of migration on Andean people and their music.
Turino uses the musical traditions of Conima, Peru as a unifying
thread, tracing them through the varying lives of Conimeos in
different locales. He reveals how music both sustains and creates
meaning for a people struggling amid the dramatic social upheavals
of contemporary Peru. Moving Away from Silence contains detailed
interpretations based on comparative field research of Conimeo
musical performance, rehearsals, composition, and festivals in the
highlands and Lima. The volume will be of great importance to
students of Latin American music and culture as well as
ethnomusicological and ethnographic theory and method.
