- Abstract
- The Lauro Ayestarán Collection reveals the life-time dedication of a distinguished musicologist and avid researcher who collected and analyzed the indigenous music of Uruguay as well as music of foreign origin performed in Uruguay. He was a talented teacher who encouraged study of the indigenous musics of the western hemisphere. He published several books and contributed numerous essays to dictionaries and encyclopedias. He also made over 4,000 field recordings of Uruguayan folk songs which are currently held in the Musicological Section of the Museum of National History in Montevideo.
