GONZALEZ VILLARRUEL, Alejandro Alfredo y GABAYET GONZALEZ, Natalia. Yuman Singers: Myths, Dreams, and Tradition. Frontera norte [online]. 2019, vol.31, e2039. Epub 05-Feb-2020. ISSN 2594-0260. https://doi.org/10.33679/rfn.v1i1.2039.
This article seeks to outline some of the implications of the existence of singers in Yuman culture by examining how they are formed and why it is vital for the community to preserve these traditions. We focus on describing so-called identity creation, social specialization, and the origin of social hierarchy. Likewise, we endeavor to demonstrate the role singers play in their communities through anthropological literature, historical sources, and ethnography, on the basis of which we explored the life stories of three singers.
