Abstract

BLANCO ARBOLEDA, DARÍO. LA MÚSICA DE LA COSTA ATLÁNTICA COLOMBIANA TRANSCULTURALIDAD E IDENTIDADES EN MÉXICO Y LATINOAMÉRICA. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2005, vol.41, pp.171-203. ISSN 0486-6525.

THIS PAPER ADDRESSES THE TRANSNATIONALIZATION OF VALLENATO AND CUMBIA music between Mexico and Colombia, highlighting how it has served as tool for the construction of identity. It was first used as such by a small number of peasants living on Colombia's Atlantic coast, then as part of the construction of the Departamento del Cesar, and in the end has become identified as Colombian Music. This process is compared to the same phenomenon ocurring in Mexico, specifically the city of Monterrey in Nuevo León.

Keywords : Colombian music; vallenato; cumbia; identity; Colombia; México.
