GAVAZZO, Natalia. Music and dance as spaces of participation of young children of migrant Bolivians and Paraguayans in Buenos Aires (Argentina). Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.1, pp.83-94. ISSN 1852-060X.

Abstract This article is partially based on my PhD thesis, which used an anthropological approach to study identifications and ways of participation among "second-generation" immigrants in Argentina's city capital. The present analysis will take up some aspects of those ways of participation among second-generation Bolivians and Paraguayans in Buenos Aires, starting from the study of their artistic and cultural practices linked to their parents' origin, specially music and dance. Taking into account identification processes among the generation of the descendants, this article will place those artistic practices and these youth participation within the frame of current socio-political situations and changes (that go beyond the local and the national level to reach the trans/international space). The final aim is to elaborate a broader definition of "the political", that will not be limited to traditional ways of social and political participation, in order to create key elements to understand music and dance as tools for transformation, especially among urban working class young people.
