"Jairo Moreno's Sounding Latin Music, Hearing the Americas is a theoretically rich, geographically dispersed study that investigates the transnational, temporal, and sociopolitical resonances of Latinx and Latin American musics and musicians in migration. At the crossroads between the two concurrent sonic processes that anchor the book's title--sounding and hearing--is listening, a central method to which Moreno frequently returns to understand how music mediates the(re)creation of meanings, relationships, and ways of knowing inherent to migratory musicking. The text thus lends a sustained listening ear to musics and music makers across the Americas--from Panama to the United States to Costa Rica, from Cuba to Puerto Rico, from Colombia to the world--to chart new histories based on the distinct senses of time and space that result from these circulations."
