Marginalized through much of the twentieth century, bomba is today recognized and celebrated throughout Ecuador as a prominent signifier of highland black ethnic, or afrochoteño, identity. Current manifestations of bomba, however, present competing interpretations and representations of bomba and afrochoteño identity: one static in its adherence to authenticity and tradition, and the other dynamic in its embrace of hybridity and modernity. Through a social history of bomba’s recent development and examination of current stylistic trends in bomba performance, this article shows how bomba, in its diverse manifestations, indexes the shifting afrochoteño experience of blackness in Ecuador. This study updates the extant academic literature on Afro-Ecuadorian bomba as well as contributing to a growing body of literature documenting and theorizing black music and identity along the black Pacific.resumen:Este artículo abarca la música y la identidad en el Pacífico negro a través de una discusión de la bomba afroecuatoriana (género de música y danza). Marginalizada durante gran parte del siglo XX, la música bomba es reconocida hoy en día en el Ecuador como un símbolo de la identidad y la cultura afrodescendiente (afrochoteña) de la sierra norte. Las manifestaciones actuales de la música y la danza bomba presentan interpretaciones conflictivas del género de la bomba y la identidad afrochoteña: por un lado estática en su adherencia a la autenticidad y la tradición, y por otro lado dinámica en su acercamiento a la hibridez y la modernidad. A través de una historia social y de un análisis de las tendencias estilísticas actuales de la música bomba, este artículo muestra cómo el género musical y de danza bomba, en sus diversas manifestaciones, funciona cómo índice de la experiencia subalterna afrochoteña. Este estudio contribuye a la literatura académica sobre la bomba afroecuatoriana y la música y la identidad afro en el Pacífico negro.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"37 1","pages":"135 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2016-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the Cuban Revolution to the massive guerrilla movements in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, and most of Central America, to the democratic socialist experiment of Allende in Chile, to the increased popularity of socialist-oriented parties in Uruguay, or para-socialist movements, such as the Juventud Peronista in Argentina, the idea of social change was in the air. Although this topic has been explored from a political and social point of view, there is an aspect that has remained fairly unexplored. The cultural—and especially musical—dimension of this movement, so vital in order to comprehend the extent of its emotional appeal, has not been fully documented. Without an account of how music was pervasively used in the construction of the emotional components that always accompany political action, any explanation of what occurred in Latin America during that period will be always partial. This book is an initial attempt to overcome this deficit.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"37 1","pages":"244 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2016-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71025275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the rhetoric of constructing and defining Cubanness that occupies so much of Cuban culture, place, identity, and music intertwine. Musical genres, as well as the great musicians that play them, are not just found in “authentic places” on the Cuban map; they are born there, even defined by geographical place. This narrative allows for a mutually authenticating feedback loop in which musician authenticates place and place is used to authenticate musician. However, this trialectic of music, place, and identity is increasingly being problematized by certain “alternative” musicians who find themselves positioned “outside the Revolution.” Their places question these somewhat essentialized notions of a placed identity while simultaneously attempting to draw themselves into the musical cartography of Cubanness. resumen: Las abundantes referencias a lugares de origen en la música cubana son sintomáticas de la “obsesión” por construir y definir una identidad nacional, lo que ha sido notado por muchos escritores. En la retórica de construir y definir lo que es “cubanía”, algo que ocupa tanto a la cultura cubana, las nociones de lugar, identidad y música se entremezclan. Los géneros musicales, así como los iconos musicales que los popularizan, no se ubican en los llamados “lugares auténticos” del mapa de Cuba, pero sí nacieron allí, y por tanto se definen a partir de esa geografía. Esta narrativa hace posible un círculo de retroalimentación que valida la autenticidad de ambas partes; o sea, el músico valida el lugar de origen y este sirve a su vez para autenticar al músico. Sin embargo, esta relación entre música, lugar e identidad se problematiza crecientemente si tenemos en cuenta a ciertos tipos de músicos “alternativos” que se hayan posicionados “fuera de la Revolución”. Sus posiciones llevan a cuestionar las nociones simplificadas de identidad a partir de lugar de origen, e invitan a re-examinar la cartografía musical cubana.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"37 1","pages":"65 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2016-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also compares and contrasts mangue with the poetry of the first generation of Brazilian modernismo, especially in regard to Oswald de Andrade’s notion of anthropophagy and Mario de Andrade’s concept of simultaneity. The manifestos of each movement express similar concerns, such as destabilizing the hierarchies of center and periphery, primitivism, and the subversion of official histories, among others.
