Paisajes sonoros de la migración. Música, emociones y consumo en los circuitos migratorios Texas-noreste de México

Resumen

Our work explores the role played by the music and emotions in the constructions of transnational bonds, from two ethnographical vignettes related to nostalgia. On the one hand, this emotion prevails in the everyday lives of Mexican migrants in Houston, through their practices, behind which Mexican popular music is present, along with images of the homelands. On the other hand, in the context of the visits of migrants and their families to their places of origin in northeastern Mexico, they listen to popular music to express their nostalgia and induce a nostalgic attitude in spaces of family and social reunion, creating a different soundscape to the one found in the time of absence of migrants.
