Who watches the watchmen? Evaluating evaluations of El Sistema
Within the growing field of publications on El Sistema and Sistema-inspired programmes around the world, a marked divide can be observed between the findings of critical academic studies and commissioned evaluations. Using evaluations of El Sistema in Venezuela and Aotearoa New Zealand as our principal case studies, we argue that this gulf can be explained at least partly by methodological problems in the way that some evaluations are carried out…

The Realist Author and Sympathetic Imagination
Sotirios Paraschas' study of The Realist Author and Sympathetic Imagination begins with a fascinating observation that gives birth to the central conceit of his book: the “gradual semantic attenuation” of the idea of the author in the twentieth century coincides with the moment at which “the concept of realism” also “becomes a problem and an object of contention” (1). Paraschas goes on to explore the vexed relationship between the realist author …
"El Sistema, "The Venezuelan Musical Miracle
The Venezuelan orchestral training program El Sistema represents a paradox. It may be the most famous and lauded music education system in the world, yet scholarly examination in recent years has revealed numerous flaws in the dominant narrative, which appears increasingly like a myth. This article examines the processes by which this narrative was established both nationally and internationally, focusing on the creation, dissemination, and conso…

Digital indigestion
This article focuses on three recent manifestations of cumbia in Buenos Aires, Argentina: digital cumbia released by ZZK Records; retro cumbia orchestras; and a newer strand of digital cumbia, música turra. The first two are identified with the middle class, whereas the third emerged from the clases populares ('popular classes'). Música turra is underpinned by government policies towards digital inclusion, while middle-class incursions into the t…

Cuba Rebelión
Cuba Rebelion: Underground Music in Havana (2008) is billed as a documentary about the musical underground of Cuba, and their struggle against the present regime. The trailer describes underground scene of young musicians who, despite their creative suppression and censorship, have the courage to make a statement. This article questions this characterization of contemporary underground music in Havana, analyzing the relationship between Cuban und…

Imposing Harmony
Imposing Harmonyis a groundbreaking analysis of the role of music and musicians in the social and political life of colonial Cuzco. Challenging musicology's cathedral-centered approach to the history of music in colonial Latin America, Geoffrey Baker demonstrates that rather than being dominated by the Cathedral, Cuzco's musical culture was remarkably decentralized. He shows that institutions such as parish churches and monasteries employed indig…

Music in the Convents and Monasteries of Colonial Cuzco
In 1673 three Indian maestros cantores were hired to provide their musical services to the monastery of San Juan de Dios in Cuzco. They agreed to perform at five weekly masses and a range of other annual feasts such as the Fridays in Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Palm Sunday, and the feast-days of San Bartolomé and San Juan (the patron saints of the monastery's hospital and of the order), as well as any funerals of members of the monastery. On certain…
Incas e indios cristianos
Los trabajos reunidos aquí pretenden destacar la complejidad de la relación entre las culturas indígenas locales y los múltiples aspectos de la fe cristiana, y ofrecer nuevos paradigmas para los estudios en religión, historia y antropología. La multiplicidad de las formas de interacción entre quienes propagaron la religión católica y aquellos que la recibieron nos obliga a repensar la visión monolítica de la catequización o conversión de la Améri…
