Thinking about Music from Latin America
Tracing musicology in Latin American during the twentieth century, this book presents case studies to illustrate how Latin American music has interacted with social and global processes. The book addresses such topics as popular music, post-colonialism, women in Latin American music, tradition and modernity, musical counterculture, globalization, and identity construction through music. It contributes to the development of paradigms of cultural analysis that originated outside of Latin America by testing them in the Latin American musical context, while also exploring how specifically Latin American models can contribute to broader cultural analysis.
Pensar la música desde América Latina: Problemas e interrogantes
La música latinoamericana es apasionada y rítmica, pero también triste y reflexiva. En este libro, el musicólogo Juan Pablo González busca articular un pensamiento desde lo que nos ofrece la música, los músicos, las audiencias y las industrias culturales en América Latina. Un pensamiento que permita acercarse a América Latina desde dentro, desde sus venas cerradas, desde aquellas que marcan su pulso y donde circula lo más íntimo de su identidad diversa y dinámica.

Música popular chilena de autor
En el volumen final de una larga historia de la música popular chilena del siglo XX, Juan Pablo González termina como solista un proyecto iniciado como dúo y luego como trío. Se trata de un solista con acompañamiento, pues suma a un octeto de profesionales con los que aborda la canción de autor como producto intermedial, enfocándose en treinta bandas chilenas activas en la década del noventa. Al mismo tiempo, el libro detalla el fortalecimiento de la industria discográfica y de la música en vivo en el país luego de que Santiago se sumara a Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo y Río de Janeiro en el circuito sudamericano de las grandes bandas y solistas de fines de siglo. Es así como se intensificaba el contacto de Chile con el mundo mientras se diversificaban los referentes de identidad para un público ávido de nuevas propuestas sonoras.
