Description
Summary:Champeta is a musical genre from the Colombian Caribbean that originated in connection with the region’s neighborhood parties. It is known for imitating and copying various African and Antillean music. Since the 1990s, its songs have combined this recycling of Afro-diasporic music with references to global popular television culture. This article considers these intertextual exercises and their significance within the historical and economic dynamics of the genre, their relationship to some wide-ranging black music practices, and their tensions with the control of mimesis imposed globally by copyright law. Finally, some conclusions are proposed on the cultural and creative role played by contraventions of these norms in contexts of economic informality.
