"This superb volume brings to light a myriad exciting discoveries:
from Brazilian popular music to Bolivian carnival, Alejandra
Bronfman and Andrew Grant Wood have assembled a fascinating
collection of essays about the intersection of music, sound, radio,
and popular culture in Latin America. Never before has Latin
America resounded so clearly in a critical anthology."
--Rubén Gallo, Princeton University
"This volume is a model for interdisciplinary scholarship. . . .
Its willingness to put sound at the forefront of research is
refreshing and provides a trailblazing approach to Latin American
media studies."
--Latin American Research Review
"A fascinating collection of articles on the auditory experience
and its history in Latin America. They are remarkably diverse in
focus and methodology, but unified by careful attention to the
importance of sound, and an open-eared and open-minded willingness
to reconsider its dimensions and implications."
--Bryan McCann, Georgetown University
