Resumen
This article problematizes the notion of ethnicity underlying villancicos de negros of the Archdiocesan Historical Archive of Guatemala (AHAG). Although these are musical pieces that project the idea of social harmony in a festive context, the truth is that identities emerge in conflict with colonial power, based on an ambivalent discourse that consolidates and naturalizes racial stereotypes. Este artículo problematiza la noción de etnicidad subyacente en los villancicos de negros del Archivo Histórico Arquidiocesano de Guatemala (AHAG). A pesar de que se trata de piezas musicales que proyectan la idea de armonía social en un contexto festivo, lo cierto es que emergen identidades en conflicto con el poder colonial, sobre la base de un discurso ambivalente que consolida y naturaliza estereotipos raciales.
