Recenzje

This ambitious book innovatively theorizes the interhemispheric isthmus of Panama as cultural borderland. It deftly weaves historical research, astute musical analysis and fine-grained ethnography into a superb, engaging and impressively grounded study. This pioneering work is long overdue for one of Central America's principal popular musics.
