Resumen

This article analyzes the disruptive effects of digital technology in the music industry. We will carry out a critical analysis of Yudice s positions around the Music 2.0 model and Chris Anderson s long tail theory. We will analyze what the artists adaptation process to this new cultural ecosystem has been like, taking as a case study the production and distribution strategies of the tropical bass electronic music scene in Lima city. Chicha music is the foundation of this style and genre, which, in addition to being an interesting aesthetic phenomenon, also has great social importance: it designates forms of socialization of a large sector of the Peruvian population, and is the result of migrations from rural areas to the capital city, the informal economy, and the political crisis.
