How AfroPeruvian music was forgotten and recreated in Peru.Winner of the IASPM's Woody Guthrie Award (2007)In the late 1950s to 1970s, an AfroPeruvian revival brought the forgotten music and dances of Peru's African musical heritage to Lima's theatrical stages. The revival conjured newly imagined links to the past in order to celebrateand to some extent recreateBlack culture in Peru. In this groundbreaking study of the AfroPeruvian revival and its aftermath, Heidi Carolyn Feldman reveals how AfroPeruvian artists remapped blackness from the perspective of the 'Black Pacific,' a marginalized group of African diasporic communities along Latin America's Pacific coast. Feldman's 'ethnography of remembering' traces the memory projects of charismatic AfroPeruvian revival artists and companies, including Jos Durand, Nicomedes and Victoria Santa Cruz, and Per Negro, culminating with Susana Baca's entry onto the global world music stage in the 1990s. Readers will learn how AfroPeruvian music and dance genres, although recreated in the revival to symbolize the ancient and forgotten past, express competing modern beliefs regarding what constitutes 'Black Rhythms of Peru.'
