Esta investigación etnográfica analiza el trayecto de una familia de indígenas otavaleños
que reside en Lisboa desde hace 30 años, viviendo de su música y el comercio de
artesanías traídas directamente desde el Ecuador. A lo largo de este tiempo, han
transformado sus prácticas culturales, especialmente las musicales, en respuesta a
diversas experiencias migratorias y a sus relaciones con otros migrantes, turistas y
portugueses. A través de la observación participante en su puesto en Lisboa y de
entrevistas realizadas en su barraca de trabajo en Rossio, se examina cómo la interacción
con otras comunidades culturales en la ciudad ha influido en ciertos aspectos de su
identidad. Recurriendo al concepto de esencialismo estratégico, se observa cómo la
familia Morales ha utilizado aspectos de su identidad otavaleña, especialmente visibles
durante sus presentaciones musicales, para satisfacer las demandas de un mercado
globalizado que busca ‘experiencias auténticas’, a la vez que promueven algunas de sus
tradiciones musicales de Otavalo en Lisboa. Los hallazgos destacan el papel de la música
en la negociación de su identidad cultural, permitiendo que la familia prospere en un
entorno multicultural.
This ethnographic study explores the journey of an Otavalo indigenous family who has lived in Lisbon for 30 years, earning a livelihood through their music and selling handicrafts sourced directly from Ecuador. Over the years, they have adapted their cultural practices, particularly their music, in response to various migratory experiences and interactions with other migrants, tourists, and Portuguese locals. Through participant observation at their stand in Lisbon and interviews conducted in Rossio Square, the dissertation investigates how interactions with diverse cultural communities in the city have influenced key aspects of their identity. Drawing on the concept of strategic essentialism, the research reveals how the Morales family has leveraged their Otavalo identity, particularly regarding their musical performances, to meet the demands of a globalized market seeking so-called ‘authentic experiences’, while simultaneously promoting elements of their Otavalo musical heritage in Lisbon. The findings underscore the crucial role of music in mediating their cultural identity, allowing the family to prosper in a multicultural environment.
