Introduction to the Special Issue on Transatlantic Encounters in Twentieth-Century Sound and Music
This special issue of Twentieth Century Music explores how music and sound were created, performed, perceived, discussed and/or understood throughout different kinds of transatlantic encounters, occurring all along the twentieth century. In order to reflect on the interactions within and across the Atlantic Ocean, the issue focuses on various human and non-human actors and practices that originated from these encounters. In this perspective, the …

Race(ism) and Art Music in Argentina
At the turn of the twentieth century, numerous Argentine intellectuals embraced positivist thinking in order to claim the 'superiority' of the white race and exclude the indigenous and African-descendant population from the foundational mythologies of the Argentinian nation-state. Darwin's ideas on evolution - especially the concept of 'survival of the fittest' as filtered through the work of Herbert Spencer - coloured the discourses of a myriad …
The Invention of Latin American Music. A Transnational History
Inca Music Reimagined
The Latin American centennial celebrations of independence (ca. 1909–1925) constituted a key moment in the consolidation of national symbols and emblems while also producing a renewed focus on transnational affinities that generated a series of discourses about continental unity. At the same time, a boom in archaeological explorations, within a climate of scientific positivism, provided Latin Americans with new information about their “grandiose”…
Marina Cañardo, Fábricas de Música. Comienzos de la industria discográfica en la Argentina (1919-1930)
The boom of the tango record industry in Argentina during the 1920s has not been the subject of a systematic study until now. Marina Cañardo’s book Fábricas de Músicas: comienzos de la industria discográfica en la Argentina (1919-1930) is a necessary and original contribution to this topic. The book is structured in nine chapters. As the author clarifies, all the chapters with the exception of the first and the last, begin with a question that is…
Ni la lira ni el bongó… La construcción de la Música Nueva en Cuba desde la órbita de Musicalia (1927-1946)
Incan or Not? Building Ecuador's Musical Past in the Quest for a Nationalist Art Music, 1900-1950
When the development of Ecuadorian national art music began at the end of the nineteenth century, composers and music historians followed European models and studied folklore as a window onto the past. In this quest to discover and articulate what was truly "Ecuadorian," Incan culture occupied a complex position, sometimes hailed as a primary component of Ecuador's musical heritage and sometimes dismissed as irrelevant. This article explores the …
Musicians in Transit
Musicians in Transit traces the history of seven Argentine musicians who formed their careers abroad as well as at home. In each case, their transnational encounters modified how their music and identities were shaped. To understand these encounters, Karush draws on theories of globalization as described by Arjun Appadurai and Renato Ortiz, arguing that ‘inequalities of power and prestige have shaped the transnational flows of music in historical…
