Abstract

In this article I explore in a comparative way the musical, cultural, and political practices of “Andean musical” groups of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Puno (Peru), with the aim to analyze how the performance allows the agents to generate feelings/emotions and beliefs linked to an Andean community imaginary. This imaginary produces tensions that are solved and lead into different ways: the religious in Puno and the politics in Buenos Aires. Instead of symbolizing or reflecting the “Andean world” in a complete way, these practices constitute reflexives and conscious performances that lead to the invention of new courses and identities for the musicians of these countries.
