The cruz de mayo festival. Sound and rituality in the Arica Valleys
Resumen: Exponemos la importancia que posee la dimensión sociomu sical de la fiesta de la Cruz de Mayo para el desarrollo de sus distintas fases rituales, a partir de la descripción y el análisis de información etnográfica recogida durante su celebración en los valles de Lluta y Codpa (Región de Arica y Parinacota). Durante dicha festividad, una de las más significativas del norte de Chile y gran parte de la zona sur andina, la ejecución de música y sonoridades populares en honor a la Santa Cruz es uno de sus aspectos más distintivos.
In this article we discuss the importance of the socio-musical dimension for the development of its different ritual phases of the Cruz de Mayo Festival. The description and analysis are based on ethnographic information collected during the celebra tion of this festival in the Lluta and Codpa valleys (Arica and Parinacota Region). A distinctive aspect of this celebration, one of the most important festivities of Northern Chile and large part of the South Andean area, is the playing of popular music and sounds in honor of the Holy Cross.
