  Serves as a musical ethnography of a Quechua-speaking community of Northern Potosi, in the Bolivian Andes. This work explores how music permeates the lives of this group of herders and agriculturalists. It delves into the meanings ascribed to sound; charts unfamiliar aesthetic territories; and suggests how modernity can contribute to indigeneity.
