Abstract
Este trabajo se centra en los aspectos musicales de la expedición de Pedro Arias Dávila al Darién (frontera ente Colombia y Panamá) en 1514 y explora su significado, sus conflictos internos y externos y sus repercusiones en Centroamérica, México y el Perú. Su tratamiento incluye tanto la música religiosa como la profana y presta especial atención a los instrumentos musicales e intérpretes que formaron parte de ella. Por otra parte, trata de esbozar la actividad musical de los diferentes grupos indígenas en su interacción con los europeos y los primeros africanos presentes en la región, mostrando cómo, para todas las partes, la música y su contenido simbólico funcionaron como herramienta de diplomacia musical en sus conflictivos encuentros.
