Beautiful Politics of Music

Trova in Yucatán, Mexico

Beschreibung

The first book on Yucatecan trova, this volume offers an insider's view of the history and practice of a treasured cultural heritage. A central theme of Gabriela Vargas-Cetina's ethnography is what she refers to as the "beautiful politics of music” practiced by Yucatecan trova patrons and organisations, which is a way of asserting the importance of groups and issues through non-confrontational means.
