Joshua Tucker is an assistant professor of ethnomusicology at Brown University. His work focuses largely on popular music, ethnic identity, and media circulation in contemporary Peru, as well as the way that the international circulation of music, musicians, and ideologies of indigeneity are reframing the parameters of indigenous discourse within the Andean region and among Andean performers abroad. His current book project traces these issues by examining performance genres ranging from heavy metal to traditional folklore to midcentury exotica, in contexts including Peru, the United States, Spain, and beyond.
