Summary:

The making, sounding and hearing of 'Latin music' brings into being the complex array of concepts that constitute 'Latin Americanism' - its fissures and paradoxes, but also its universal aspirations. Taking as its center musicians from or with declared roots in Latin America, Jairo Moreno presents us with an innovative analysis of how and why music emerges as a necessary but insufficient shorthand for defining and understanding Latin American, Latinx and American experiences of modernity.
