Music has been critical to national identity in Latin America,
especially since the worldwide emphasis on nations and cultural
identity that followed World War I. Unlike European countries with
unified ethnic populations, Latin American nations claimed blended
ethnicities-indigenous, Caucasian, African, and Asian-and the
process of national stereotyping that began in the 1920s drew on
the themes of indigenous and African cultures. Composers and
performers drew on the folklore and heritage of ethnic and
immigrant groups in different nations to produce what became the
music representative of different countries. Mexico became the
nation of mariachi bands, Argentina the land of the tango, Brazil
the country of Samba, and Cuba the island of Afro-Cuban rhythms,
including the rhumba. The essays collected here offer a useful
introduction to the twin themes of music and national identity and
melodies and ethnic identification. The contributors examine a
variety of countries where powerful historical movements were
shaped intentionally by music.
