LUJAN, Juan. NETWORKS, COMPLEXITY AND ETNOMUSICOLOGY: REGISTER OF AN AFROCONTEMPORARY CASE. []. , 4, pp.95-111. ISSN 2550-6722.

Until recently the connection between social network analysis and ethnomusicology was marginally established within both fields. The return of social networks and their analysis, presents different challenges regarding the ways in which the relationships between different actors and their sociocultural complexes are established. This study presents as a result the visualization and analysis of the ethnic and gender relations of the young Afro-rappers of the city of Cali (Colombia) in the decade of the nineties, understood from the methodology of social network analysis (ARS) starting from the study of its musical heritage, which constitutes an attempt at conciliation between the ARS and ethnomusicology. It concludes with the discussion of the dynamics of the studied networks, their structural characteristics and relevant aspects at the level of their cultural communication.
