Aesthetic Trends in Argentine Music

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 February 2010

Extract

To study the various artistic movements within the corpus of Argentine music, with all its various branches, makes the critic think immediately of an immense, varied and many-coloured carpet. The pattern, revealing surprises at every turn, is apparently made up of the most disparate strands: not only natural and artificial silk of different colours, but also threads of different materials—wool, cotton and even string (modest enough but tough), worked in irregularly, making bizarre designs. To explain it, if I may follow up the metaphor, let us seize on an Ariadne's thread so as not to get lost in this present-day labyrinth of diverse schools and personal tastes which make up the country's national music.
