• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines the cultural and musical traditions of the Welsh community in Patagonia, Argentina, exploring themes of identity, performance, and heritage. Through fieldwork conducted in Welsh, English, and Spanish, the author delves into how music and choir performances serve as a vehicle for sustaining Welsh culture and community cohesion in a geographically distant locale. With insights into rituals like the Eisteddfod and the interplay between Welsh and Argentinian influences, this work provides a nuanced study of cultural preservation and subjectivity. The book is intended for readers interested in ethnomusicology, cultural anthropology, and diaspora studies, offering a detailed exploration of the role of music in cultural identity formation.
