ARANGO, ANA MARÍA. SPACES OF MUSICAL EDUCATION IN QUIBDO (CHOCO-COLOMBIA). Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2008, vol.44, n.1, pp.157-189. ISSN 0486-6525.

Through the analysis of different scenarios for musical learning in a society it is poss ible to see how music becomes an instrument used by dominant sectors for the indoctrination and construction of new social subjects. The musical life of subjects, however, is the result not only of a series of assimilations but resistances within complex and eclectic learning mechanisms. In Quibdo (Choco-Colombia), in addition to the most visible spaces for musical education, new scenarios have appeared that draw on the latter ones but are characterized by their response both to the discourses and transnational dynamics of international cooperation as well as social movements. In all these educational spaces, power relations are far from being a simple history of transmission of knowledge or a tale of impositions and assimilations from some sectors onto others.

Palabras clave : Ethnomusicology; musical education; communities of practice; Afrocolombians; international cooperation; Quibdo (Choco-Colombia).
