Inca Music Reimagined explores how Latin American musicians brought ideas of Incan music into their twentieth-century modernist compositions...the project is an engaging one, and a much-needed contribution to the field of historical music studies. The book makes one think about Latin America as an imaginary, and the ways in which musical experimentation might draw on imaginaries in new, inventive ways.
