CAMACHO DIAZ, Gonzalo. The Sound Dimension of “el costumbre”. A Meandering Journey in the Huasteca. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2019, n.76, pp.103-129.  Epub 27-Mar-2021. ISSN 2007-2392.

Ritual practices have a “sound face” which is frequently unnoticed or is tangentially described in anthropological studies. This paper explores the sound dimension of the ritual system in the Huasteca region, called “el costumbre”. We present the different sign systems, formed and transmitted by sounds, that when staged reinforce the general meaning of each one of the included rituals. We explore how music brings to mind a collection of experiences that are interlaced in order to create a new experience, charged with strong emotion. These emotions make the sacred world plausible.

Palabras llave : sound dimension; ritual music; corn; “el costumbre”; Huasteca.
