Focusing on the Asháninka and Nomatsigenga peoples of the Peruvian Amazon, this book engages with current debates on archived sonic legacies and their restitution to the Indigenous communities where they were recorded. Taking a decolonial approach to the anthropology of music, it explores how original song-dances are mobilized to support demands for cultural autonomy, control of rainforest territories, and a “good life” on Indigenous terms. Inspired by the return of archival materials and grounded in a collaborative project, community members and anthropologists work together to reinvigorate ancestral arts and Indigenize archives, contributing to decolonial futures.
