Following the resonance of huapango's improvisational performance within the lives of audiences, musicians, and the author himself - from New Year's festivities in the highlands of Guanajuato, Mexico, to the backyard get-togethers along the back roads of central Texas - the author shows how Mexicans living on both sides of the border use expressive culture to construct meaningful communities amid the United States' often vitriolic immigration politics. Through his writing, we gain an intimate look at the experience of migration and how huapango carries the voices of those in Mexico, those undertaking the dangerous trek across the border, and those living in the United States. illuminating how huapango arribenÌo's performance refigures the sociopolitical and economic terms of migration through aesthetic means, the author adds fresh compelling insights into the ways transnational music-making is at the center of everyday Mexican migrant life. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Huapangos $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $x Social aspects $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $z United States $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Songs and music. $x Songs and music. 651 0 $a United States $x Songs and music. $x Songs and music. 776 08 $i Online version: $a ChaÌvez, Alex E., 1982- $t Sounds of crossing. $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2017 $z 9780822372202 $w (DLC) 2017041721 830 0 $a Refiguring American music. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402015405.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210021654.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C6DF2982F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
