Resumen
El artículo explora la construcción de imaginarios de la diferencia a partir de la recepción de las músicas autóctonas. Con base en el análisis de textos coloniales (crónicas de la conquista, relaciones, historias, etc.) se argumentará que la percepción occidental de los sonidos e instrumentos indígenas estaba ideológicamente orientada, conforme a factores extramusicales. Como contraparte, dichos instrumentos que actuaban como marcadores de etnicidad también afianzaban los lazos comunitarios, permitiendo que la música se transformara en campo de negociación de significados.

Based on the analysis of colonial texts (chronicles of the conquest, relationships, stories, etc.) it will be argued that the Western perception of indigenous sounds and instruments was ideologically oriented, according to extra-musical factors. As a counterpart, these instruments that acted as markers of ethnicity also strengthened community ties, allowing music to become a field for negotiating meanings.
