“…Wirtz conceptualizes race as a "strategically deployable shifter" (p. 66) and a powerful metacultural frame that accrues weight through repetition and entextualization. 3 Birenbaum Quintero (2018) argues for the mutual constitution of concepts of race and concepts of music, dance, and sound in his genealogical study of the Colombian Pacific. He attends ethnographically to music/language relations such as vocal timbre in speech and song and conceives of rhythmic patterns and performance as conversation.…”

“…Finally, heritage has become a prominent public discourse invoking history and memory in national and international domains (e.g., Samson & Sandroni 2013), often drawing on earlier discourses on folklore. Heritage regimes are increasingly tied to discourses of multiculturalism, development, and marketization that may restrict, rather than enable, political transformations (Luker 2016, Birenbaum Quintero 2018, Camal 2019). Yet, as Tucker (2019) or language does in politics and social life.…”

Recent work in anthropology has attended to the imbrication of music, sound, listening, and language in research on, and from, Latin America and the Caribbean, as part of a broader movement across regions. In this article, we argue that these relations have their own intellectual genealogies in Latin America and the Caribbean, which have often been neglected in studies written about the region. We focus on recent theorization of aurality—the immediate and mediated practices of listening that construct perceptions of nature, bodies, voices, and technologies. We provide an overview of regional discourses on the interrelations of voice, orality, and writing, and then we discuss the aural turn in four areas: race; migration; socialization and youth cultures; and epistemologies of history, memory, and heritage. We put different bodies of discourse into dialogue as a means of charting a path toward decolonial (inter)disciplinary transformations that are built on other histories, vocalities, and modes of knowledge.

“…Epipedobates [to be revealed] is named in honor of the Afro-Colombian [to be revealed] musical genre and traditions that arose from generations of multicultural practices in the Pacific region, starting with African slaves brought to work in the gold mines, and continuing today with infusion of new ideas and interpretations(Birenbaum Quintero, 2019;Guevara Calderón & Godoy Acosta, 2015).

The number of amphibian species described yearly shows no signs of slowing down, especially in tropical regions, implying that the biodiversity of amphibians remains woefully underestimated. We describe a new species of poison frog from the Pacific lowlands of southwestern Colombia:Epipedobates [to be revealed]sp. nov., named for the Pacific music and dance genre known asbambuco viejoor [to be revealed]. This species inhabits lowland forests from 0–260 m. This taxon differs from congeners by having a combination of yellow blotches in the dorsal anterior region of the thigh and upper arm, homogenous dark-brown dorsal coloration, and advertisement calls of long duration and many pulses. We also describe the courtship call ofE. [to be revealed], which is lower in frequency and shorter in duration than the advertisement call. Molecular phylogenetic analyses confirm the monophyly of the populations sampled and its position as the sister-group ofEpipedobates narinensis, which occurs in southwestern Colombia. Among species ofEpipedobates, the new species has been previously confused withE. boulengeri, but we find that the two species are allopatric and represent two divergent clades (1.77% divergent for12S–16Sand 5.39% forCYTB). These species can be distinguished by the presence of a bright yellow blotch in the dorsal anterior region of the thigh inE. [to be revealed], which is absent or diffuse and pale or cream inE. boulengeri. Epipedobates [to be revealed]is the most northern species ofEpipedobates, which extends southwards along the western edge of the Andes. Known as the Chocó, this biogeographic region has been largely converted to agriculture in Ecuador and is experiencing widespread transformation in Colombia, which may endangerE. [to be revealed]and biodiversity in the region. This version is a preprint, and we only intend to name the species in the final published version.
