Contents:

The nation in bloom : a search for "Ecuadorianness" -- La música nacional : an anthology of songs -- The pasillo : rise and decline of the national song -- Rocolera music : new urban sounds in the city -- Chichera music : the tropicalization of música nacional -- The tecnocumbia boom in Ecuador : "A letter with my kisses sent with love by internet" -- The translocation of Ecuadorian popular music -- Whose national music?

Summary: Musical genres, musical instruments, and even songs can often capture the essence of a country's national character. In Whose National Music?, the first book-length study of Ecuadorian popular music, Ketty Wong explores Ecuadorians' views of their national identity in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries through an examination of the music labels they use. Wong deftly addresses the notion of música nacional, an umbrella term for Ecuadorian popular songs often defined by the socio-economic, ethnic, racial, and generational background of people discussing the music.>
