As a power practice over a social space, territoriality was a fundamental aspect for Latin American nations to impose imaginary national communities, through the arbitrary suppression of pre-existing heteroglossia. Music played a predominant role in this process. Thus, musical nationalisms can be understood as a practice of cultural whitening and styling, through a territoriality that covered up the deep musical history of Nuestra America. This text analyzes the circulation of Latin American musicking, establishing correlations between popular practices of synchronous emergence within the Hispanic colonial Atlantic, such as Fandangos, Zarabanda or Punto.We will specifically analyze some features that made the evasion and camouflage of territorial marks their condition of possibility.Downloads
