Voz colonial: representación de la Otredad y exotización racializada en los contactos entre el campo musical chileno y el concepto de world music

Abstract

Chilean musics were recorded by European ethnographic and phonographic endeavours, driven by the embryonic development of a Western musical narrative of global scope. In a second stage, between the decades of 1980 and 1990, some Chilean artists strategically used musical elements circulating in world music as references to enrich their artistic vocabulary. Finally, since the 2000s to this day, the category of world music was consolidated through local record labels and festivals, being actively and critically received to characterise the music of the Otherness present in the country. The article concludes with a summary of its interpretations and offers some thoughts on new research questions, relevant for academic study and the development of public policies on the subject.
