Blackness and mestizaje: Afro-Caribbean music in Chetumal, Mexico

Elisabeth Cunin

Résumé

Hierba Santa, Chan Santa Roots, Korto Circuito, Roots and Wisdom, Escuadrón 16, etc.: these are a few of the numerous reggae and ska groups from the state of Quintana Roo, in the south-eastern part of Mexico bordering Belize. While this region is traditionally associated with a dominant Maya culture or with the first mestizaje in Mexico, I will study Afro-Caribbean music in order to analyze, from a different perspective, socio-historical mechanisms of inclusion, transformation, and elimination of differences. Focusing on the local reggae and ska scene (musicians, public, organization, etc.), I will then try to understand the meaning of black music without black people and its consequences on the definition of Mexican mestizaje.
