I am now interested in the musical syncretism in Andean traditional music of Bolivia.
Here is a link to a practical essay about this for you.
And I give you the quotation from the beginning part of the essay.
The Local and the Global share a close mutual relationship of change and exchange in an intercultural way. Using the example of the Bolivian charango, the intercultural dynamics and development of a string instrument will be outlined in terms of its structure. The complex process of cultural transformation and adoption is investigated and described under the general viewpoints of acculturation during the colonial period and mental syncretism as well as of modern transculturation processes under globalization.
