Recenzje

Both wide-ranging and precise, Alejandro Vera's new study carefully tracks the routes of musicians and music through colonial Santiago de Chile. His long work enables him to highlight the roles of convents and monasteries and the career trajectory of musicians, including Mapuche and Afro-Chileans. And his close attention to the musical repertory gives us a new understanding of how one colonial city's music actually sounded.
