Youth Identities and Argentine Popular Music: Beyond Tango

Youth Identities and Argentine Popular Music: Beyond Tango Review



What are the main music preferences among the youth in Argentina? How do these preferences fit into Argentine society, culture, and politics? The essays in this volume show how religion, class, ethnic, generational, and gender issues in Argentina are constructed and negotiated through a variety of musical practices. Rock, cumbia, and romantic music articulate gender, sexual, class, and ethnic identities for young people, whose socio-musical life goes beyond the traditional stereotypes of Argentina, tango, and passion.
