Abstract

MADRID MORAGA, Luis. Entre el Río de la Plata y Santiago. La movilidad social de músicos de casta en el arte musical latinoamericano. Taco brea [online]. 2023, n.17, e0101. ISSN 2362-4191.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.14409/eltaco.9.17.e0101.

The article intends to examine the pardos and mulatto musicians of the end of the 18th and the first decades of the 19th century and inquire about the social positioning achieved from their long-standing practices in the development of European cathedral music. Family and professional ties are analyzed from the framework of Social History and the field of Afro-descendant Studies. It is concluded that the appropriation of Western European music by racialized individuals along with a series of social patterns, were contributing factors for the social mobility of a group of musicians of African origin in the first half of the 19th century in Chile.

Keywords : musicians; Afro‒descendants; social mobility; caste; art.
