This dissertation tells a story of how music became a site for social commentary, political resistance, and public remembrance in the Ayacucho region of southern Peru during the "dirty war" fought there between Shining Path guerrillas and the Peruvian military in the 1980s and early 90s. Combining social history with musical ethnography, I chronicle the origins and development of the cancion social ayacuchana, a broad umbrella term for protest and testimonial music from Ayacucho that became popular during the conflict. Rooted in musical and cultural forms that long predated the war, I argue that the cancion social mobilized the resources of these traditions in a way that both reinvigorated them as cultural practices while also opening a powerful and singular social space for dissent and remembrance within a public sphere otherwise marked by paralyzing terror and silencing.

520 $a This dissertation tells a story of how music became a site for social commentary, political resistance, and public remembrance in the Ayacucho region of southern Peru during the "dirty war" fought there between Shining Path guerrillas and the Peruvian military in the 1980s and early 90s. Combining social history with musical ethnography, I chronicle the origins and development of the cancion social ayacuchana, a broad umbrella term for protest and testimonial music from Ayacucho that became popular during the conflict. Rooted in musical and cultural forms that long predated the war, I argue that the cancion social mobilized the resources of these traditions in a way that both reinvigorated them as cultural practices while also opening a powerful and singular social space for dissent and remembrance within a public sphere otherwise marked by paralyzing terror and silencing.
520 $a The cancion social phenomenon is explored here through interwoven case studies of two distinct but related musical spheres. The first case examines the politicization of a rural musical genre known as pumpin, performed primarily during carnival in the district of Colca and neighboring villages in Ayacucho's central Fajardo province. Over the course of several chapters, I narrate and analyze the unique causes of pumpin's transformation, foregrounding the role played by formal song contests that began in the Fajardo province in the mid-1970s, the cooptation of those contests by Shining Path militants at the outset of the war, and the perseverance of several promoters in resurrecting the contests repeatedly throughout and following the years of violence. The story of pumpin's radicalization is given a broader context in chapters 2 and 4, which present a social history of the cancion social in the Ayacucho region as a whole, analyzing how this primarily urban movement by singers and songwriters unfolded over two decades in major public performances, musical competitions, and recordings of Andean "folkloric" music, especially the wayno genre. Arguing against interpretations of this music that have positioned it as entirely either a natural extension of a deep tradition of politicized Andean folk music, or as a politically-instrumental imposition of Maoist guerrillas, I position the cancion social as an emergent social arena where divergent views on the violence could be presented, debated, and transformed.
