Más allá de la impresionante competencia coreográfica y los aplausos en los teatros, la danza de tijeras es ante todo un ritual dirigido por las comunidades campesinas a los dioses telúricos locales para el buen desarrollo del ciclo agrícola. Desconocida del público limeño hasta mediados del siglo pasado, esta danza andina goza actualmente del reconocimiento nacional y en el extranjero. Pero el contacto con la ciudad traerá consigo importantes cambios en la organización y el desarrollo de la performance, así como en la coreografía, la música y hasta en la confección del vestuario del danzante. El libro de Manuel Arce desarrolla estos y otros aspectos de la danza de tijeras, en particular aquella practicada en Ayacucho y la provincia de Lucanas, por cuyos intérpretes el violista y etnomusicólogo peruano siente una gran admiración. Conoceremos así la historia del violín tradicional que era utilizado en esta región hasta antes de las migraciones a la capital hacia los años 40, y su reemplazo progresivo y definitivo por el violín occidental. A todo lo largo de esta investigación podremos también comprobar que numerosos elementos andinos y occidentales coexisten en esta tradición sin conflicto aparente. El autor enriquece el estudio de la danza de tijeras presentando dos puntos hasta ahora poco abordados. Estos son: la descripción precisa de la técnica instrumental particular utilizada por los violinistas de Lucanas, y la transcripción y el análisis exhaustivo de las principales melodías del «programa» de la competencia.

For 31 months between 1979 and 1995, James F. Weiner conducted anthropological research amongst the Foi people in Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. This book contains the transcriptions, translations, and descriptions of the songs he recorded. The texts of women's sago songs (obedobora), men's ceremonial songs (sorohabora), and women's sorohabora are included. Men turn the prosaic content of womenís sago songs into their own sorohabora songs, which are performed the night following large-scale inter-community pig kills, called dawa. While women sing sago songs by themselves, men sing their ceremonial songs in groups of paired men. Women also have their own ceremonial versions of such songs. The songs are memorial in intent; they are designed to commemorate the lives of men who are no longer living. Most commonly they do so by naming the places the deceased inhabited during his lifetime. These song texts and translations are introduced by Weiner. Ethnomusicologist Don Niles then brings together information about each type of song and considers these Foi genres in relation to those of neighbouring groups, highlighting aspects of regional performance styles. Consideration is also given to the poetic devices used in Papua New Guinea songs. Eighteen recordings illustrating the Foi genres discussed in this book are available for download. It remains uncertain how such songs may be affected by the major oil extraction project that has been undertaken in the region for more than two decades. This book will interest students of anthropology, ethnomusicology, linguistics, verbal art, aesthetics, and cultural heritage
