Document Summary
Emphasis is placed on communal unity through musical performance and participation. The widespread effects of colonialism, north american economic and cultural domination, and the formation of nation-states led to certain cultural and musical features being shared among the various cultures. Slavery--- african americans + iberian musical elements. Iberian influence is the oldest and most profound common denominator in latin america. o. It has been combined with regionally specific indigenous lifeways to form local mestizo culture in some regions and with african heritages to form african american cultural enclaves in others. o. Mestizo fiesta in paucartambo is one example of the result. Pre-columbia: formed particularly distinctive examples of latin american mestizo musical styles. Argentina and chile: the predominance of european heritage and cosmopolitan cultural style, as are the middle-class and elite populations in most major latin american cities. Mestizos: people of mixed spanish and indigenous cultural heritage from the town itself.
