ABSTRACT In this article I discuss the use of rehearsal drills among the tambores musicians of Villa El Salvador (VES), an underprivileged yet emerging district of Lima, Peru that was built and populated by Andean and mestizo settlers starting in the 1970s. Tambores is a drum genre derived from Afro-Brazilian batucada music that incorporates community-oriented values inherited from the seminal ideological principles established by the first wave of rural settlers. Starting in the early 2000s, grassroots organisations led by VES adolescents began developing and disseminating local pedagogies to promote tambores music as a conduit for galvanising communal engagement and solidarity. The article shows how VES musicians deploy rehearsal routines to fortify their grassroots initiatives, seeking to enfranchise other adolescents by incorporating bodily techniques for self-empowerment and dynamic socialisation. Through this pedagogical programme, tambores musicians employ the rehearsal as a space where the district’s youth may fine-tune and ‘transform’ their bodies and social attitudes in order to become engaged and positively motivated members of the VES community.

“身体是我们的杰作”：在利马的 tambores 音乐中学习转变

摘要 在本文中，我讨论了萨尔瓦多别墅 (VES) 的 tambores 音乐家对排练练习的使用，这是秘鲁利马的一个贫困但新兴的地区，从 1970 年代开始由安第斯和混血定居者建造和居住。Tambores 是一种源自非洲裔巴西 batucada 音乐的鼓流派，融合了以社区为导向的价值观，这些价值观从第一批农村定居者建立的开创性意识形态原则中继承而来。从 2000 年代初开始，由 VES 青少年领导的草根组织开始发展和传播当地教学法，以促进 tambores 音乐作为激发社区参与和团结的渠道。这篇文章展示了 VES 音乐家如何部署排练程序来加强他们的基层倡议，寻求通过结合自我赋权和动态社会化的身体技巧来赋予其他青少年权利。通过这个教学计划，tambores 音乐家将排练作为一个空间，让该地区的年轻人可以微调和“转变”他们的身体和社会态度，以便成为 VES 社区的积极参与和积极进取的成员。
