MESTIZAJE Y EXPRESIONES CULTURALES IDENTITARIAS EN LATINOAMÉRICA. Una reflexión sobre el costumbrismo del siglo XIX, la música tradicional y la música pop

Summary/Abstract: The costumbrista illustration of the 19th century in Colombia, after independence, focused on the representation of national cultural expressions. From the iconographic analysis of two representative illustrations, made by Ramón Torres Méndez in that period of time, it is possible to identify elements that contribute to the construction of a cultural identity. The elements that make up these expressions, however, are the result of a mixture of other forms of cultural expression, namely European, American, and African. This miscegenation, always present, extends even today and can be seen in more contemporary manifestations such as pop, in particular, of which is the key focus of this article.
