"This book constitutes not only a key contribution to the field of Latin American music studies as a whole, but it also responds directly to the pressing need of making the work of Latin American scholars available to Anglophone readers. As the editors point out, the academic production of a vast portion of Latin American scholars remains unknown in the Anglophone academy. While highlighting the sophisticated ideas of leading authors in the field, the book offers a robust intellectual ground to counterbalance Anglophone readers' ideas about the music and the academic production of the region. This book would be a very useful addition to upper-undergraduate or graduate courses on Latin American music or Latin American music scholarship. It would also be an ideal point of entry for scholars interested in engaging with the field and with their colleagues south of the border. Taken together with other recently published volumes on Latin American scholarship, this book should be celebrated as another important brick for the construction of a bridge between the Latin American and Anglophone academies."— Sergio Ospina-Romero, Journal of Folklore Research"This collection of thoughtful and richly researched essays achieves its aim to dialogue with English-language popular music studies via the literature on music scenes. Made in Latin America succeeds in contributing a variety of new insights into the kinds of themes pertaining to social music making that the scenes perspective has sought to highlight."—Frederick Moehn, Latin American Music Review
