Sumario:This article shows the results of qualitative research about migrant music worlds in the Metropolitan Region, Chile. Throughout the analysis of interviews with migrant musicians, we aim to understand how the actors and subjects of migration interpret the movement of music practices from one country to another, and which values and judgments sustain a specific feeling of loss, trivialization, or frivolization of artistic forms appropriated by the host society. We hypothesize that musicians' perceptions are linked to some idea of authenticity that operates as a principal attribute to evaluate cultural and artistic practices. We will examine how this notion of authenticity will judge migrant music according to a variety of membership types, such as territory, ethnicity, lineage, degree of collective adherence, all of them grounded on an idea of origin as the main substance of cultural identities.
