Los “indios cantores” del Paraguay: Prácticas musicales y dinámicas de movilidad en Asunción colonial (siglos XVI–XVIII) (Sb editorial)
In this exploration of indios cantores who held and disseminated important musical and cultural knowledge in colonial Paraguay, Laura Fahrenkrog Cianelli has produced a creatively framed, deeply researched, and beautifully written feat of historical scholarship. The author compellingly demonstrates that indios cantores were multifaceted actors whose labor and mobility were instrumental in centering Asunción in a vast and connected hinterland. The book’s significance extends beyond its geographic boundaries by contributing to our understanding of ethnomusicology, missions, and urban formation.
