Musica Nortena: Mexican Migrants Creating a Nation Between Nations (Studies In Latin America & Car)
- Used Book in Good Condition
MÃºsica norteÃ±a, a musical genre with its roots in the folk ballad traditions of Northern Mexico and the Texas-Mexican border region, has become a hugely popular musical style in the U.S., particularly among Mexican immigrants. Featuring evocative songs about undocumented border-crossers, drug traffickers, and the plight of immigrant workers, mÃºsica norteÃ±a has become the music of a â€œnation between nations.â€ MÃºsica NorteÃ±a is the first definitive history of this transnational music that has found enormous commercial success in norteamÃ©rica.
Cathy Ragland, an ethnomusicologist and former music critic, serves up the fascinating fifty-year story of mÃºsica norteÃ±a, enlivened by interviews with important musicians and her own first-hand observations of live musical performances. Beyond calling our attention to musical influences, Ragland shows readers the social and economic forces at work behind the music. By comparing mÃºsica norteÃ±a with other popular musical forms, including conjunto tejano, she helps us understand and appreciate the musical ties that bind the Mexican diaspora.
