Music of Latin America and the Caribbean Interest Group

Bibliography
This bibliography was inspired by discussion following the interest group for Music of Latin America and the Caribbean panel presentation at the 2011 SAM meeting in Cincinnati. The sources below are intended to provide instructors with a preliminary resource; it is not a comprehensive reference guide. It is divided into two sections; the first includes recent sources published between 1990 and 2011 and the second texts published before 1990. Priority was given to surveys or article collections likely to interest the broadest number of scholars. Sources unlikely to be available at U.S. institutions were excluded. We are continuing to expand and revise the bibliography. A section including recently published current articles in the field is forthcoming. We welcome your additions and comments.
