Featuring evocative songs about undocumented border-crossers, drug traffickers, and the plight of immigrant workers, m\u00fasica norte\u00f1a has become <em>the<\/em> music of a \u201cnation between nations.\u201d <em>M\u00fasica Norte\u00f1a <\/em>is the first definitive history of this transnational music that has found enormous commercial success in <em>norteam\u00e9rica<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Ragland, an ethnomusicologist and former music critic, serves up the fascinating fifty-year story of m\u00fasica norte\u00f1a, enlivened by interviews with important musicians and her own first-hand observations of live musical performances. Beyond calling our attention to musical influences, Ragland shows readers the social and economic forces at work behind the music. By comparing m\u00fasica norte\u00f1a with other popular musical forms, including conjunto tejano, she helps us understand and appreciate the musical ties that bind the Mexican diaspora. \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1592137474?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1592137474\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/1592137474?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=1592137474\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ragland, Cathy. <em>Musica Nortena: Mexican Americans Creating a Nation Between Nations<\/em>.
