  The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Volume 2: South America, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean
ISBN: 0824049470
The second installment of the Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, 1082 pages
long, covers from the Bahamas to Tierra del Fuego
and from Baja California to Uruguay as it describes the extraordinarily rich and
varied music of people from all the countries south of the Rio Grande river.
Unique emphasis is given to 25 native American cultures, including Yuma and
Otopame (Mexico), Kuna (Colombia and Panama), Suya (Brazil), Quechua (Ecuador to
Chile), and Mapuche (Chile and Argentina).
Several articles are devoted to the
popular music of Mexico, Brazil, the Caribbean islands, and other areas. A
survey of the music of immigrants shows how arrivals from China, India,
Indonesia, Japan, Germany, Italy, and Spain have preserved their musical
traditions in the region for the past 150 years. An audio CD is included.
