Dear all,
This year, the MusMat Research Group is completing 10 years of its existence, and we are very delighted to celebrate it with the release of this very special issue of the MusMat • Brazilian Journal of Music and Mathematics. Being aware of the greatness of the
Latin America culture and its contrasting underrepresentation in the academic scenario, we devoted most of this issue to contribute and stimulate research on Music and Mathematics in our subcontinent.
The first paper, by Gabriel Pareyon, is an exciting text on three questions about the anthropological and historical foundations for the indigenous relationships of Music and Mathematics in Latin America, where deep connections between both subjects are traced
to the very historical roots of our culture.
The second paper is an extensive (but not exhaustive) overview on the major developments of research on Music and Mathematics in Latin America in the last 25 years, made by a joint effort between the MusMat Group, Gabriel Pareyon and the fellow researchers
that contributed with information regarding their respective countries, regions, and research groups. This is the first comprehensive overview on the research on Music and Mathematics in Latin America, and we hope that its publication stimulates similar initiatives.
From now on, the MusMat Journal will dedicate a section to publish information with similar content: so, feel free to submit a document about your research group, region, or country, if you think this information is missing here.
The third text on this issue is a compendium on the activities of the MusMat Group on the last 10 years, as well as current activities and future perspectives.
Finally, we close this number presenting an interview with Richard Cohn, an outstanding researcher that published a paper in the first number of the MusMat Journal.
We hope that the publication of this issue stimulates students and researchers to dive into this fascinating intersection of fields.
Enjoy the reading!
