Chicha, Carporales y Charangos: Towards Building a "Soundscape of Migration" in Buenos Aires
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
This interdisciplinary exploration of aural cultures in Buenos Aires posits different genres of cumbia as comprising a “soundscape” of migration for Paraguayan, Bolivian and Peruvian immigrants residing in the porteño city. By close-reading two
films produced in the 2000s that have key scenes with cumbia soundtracks/performances (Bolivia and El niño pez) as well as formulating a proof-of-concept, temporal visualization of the movement of this aural culture across a city, I aimed to move towards theorizing on a soundscape of migration as itself a moving, migrating subject.
