| Summary: | This article explores the presence of Latin American composers and musical works during the Encounters of Contemporary Music of the Agrupación Musical Anacrusa that took place in Santiago de Chile (1987 and 1989) and La Serena (1992). Being an independent music project that the Goethe-Institut mainly supported, the Latin American Encounters of Anacrusa contributed to overcoming the isolation of Chilean musical life during the last years of the military dictatorship and the first years of the democratic transition, enabling an intense circulation of people, musical works, and discourses on contemporary music. Through sources preserved in Anacrusa’s Archive, this article studies some critical aspects of this circulation, complemented with observations surrounding the human and emotional dimension of the Encounters. Its starting premise is that, beyond a musical and intellectual exchange, these events constituted spaces to perform Latin America in the real and physical encounter among Latin Americans. |
