This “Rethinking Creativity, Recognition and Indigenous
Heritage” project and workshop builds on the research of Michelle Bigenho, including
her book Sounding Indigenous: Authenticity in Bolivian Music Performance
(Palgrave 2002), and Henry
Stobart, especially his AHRC and British Academy funded project Digital
Indigeneity focused on Bolivian indigenous music videos,
politics and piracy. As part of this project he convened a roundtable
at MUSEF (Museo de Etnografia y Folklore) in La Paz on the theme of Music
Piracy and the Fair Use of Native Music on 18th June 2008. The Spanish language
transcription of this round table can be accessed via the following link: Piratería Musical y el Uso Justo de la Música Nativa
