Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between musical performance and the potato and its cultivation in a rural Andean hamlet. The potato, it emerges, is not viewed as a mundane staple, but is central to the structuring of musical expression. Unlike industrialised societies, musical performance is not abstracted away from everyday objects and activities. Rather, they provide the basis and inspiriation for such expression, revealing a very different approach to ecology.
