BookEl pirata: historias de la música criolla

HLAS annotation

• Similar to the author's book of essays on salsa, also published in 2011 (see item #bi2015000924#), Peruvian poet and popular culture critic Eloy Jáuregui's El pirata traces the 20th-century history of música criolla in Peru through a series of highly personal short essays on key figures, institutions, and events that have marked this music and its development. These essays, including pieces on Felipe Pinglo, Chabuca Granda, Karamanduka, Susana Baca, Zambo Cavero, Lucha Reyes, and more, are organized in the form of a marinera limeña, with "primera," "segunda," and resbalosa (conclusion) sections, followed by a brief bibliography.
