This study investigates a battle over music and identity at Radio Zapotitlán, a community radio station in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. An analysis of over 20 interviews with station organizers, volunteers and listeners conducted in 2009 and 2010 indicates that while organizers and older listeners celebrated Ranchera music as the station’s predominant musical content, younger listeners fought to broadcast contemporary Banda music. An historical and theoretical analysis of Ranchera music explores its cultural role in mediating experiences of migration and nostalgia. This study finds that Radio Zapotitlán organizers promoted Ranchera music in order to engage the national and transnational nostalgia of Zapotitlán’s displaced migrants, and to meet the expectations of government regulators and transnational nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). It concludes that local, regional, national and transnational interests cannot be disentangled in musical articulations of identity at Radio Zapotitlán.

调解怀旧：墨西哥社区广播电台Ranchera音乐的意义

这项研究调查了墨西哥哈利斯科州社区广播电台Zapotitlán电台在音乐和身份方面的战斗。对2009年和2010年对电台组织者，志愿者和听众进行的20多次访谈的分析表明，尽管组织者和年长的听众将Ranchera音乐作为电台的主要音乐内容来庆祝，但年轻的听众却在努力播放当代的班达音乐。对《牧场》音乐的历史和理论分析探讨了其在调解迁徙和怀旧经历中的文化作用。这项研究发现，萨波蒂特兰广播电台的组织者推广了兰切拉音乐，以唤起萨波蒂特兰流离失所移民的民族和跨国怀旧之情，并满足政府监管机构和跨国非政府组织的期望。。
