We are what we listen to: The Impact of Music on Individual and Social Health (Music and Health) Paperback – September 20, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
Drawing on the latest research and musical examples, Caicedo reveals:
- How the brain works when you listen and make music.
- The relationship between rhythm, movement, and health.
- The relationship between pleasure, emotion, and music.
- How music has been a crucial element of the human experience since the beginning of the species and how it is fundamental for maintaining communities.
- The importance of music in pain and death.
- How music increases your creativity and produces happiness and a sense of purpose in life.
We are what we listen to: the impact of music on individual health will attract readers of Oliver Sacks and David Byrne, as it is an unprecedented, transdisciplinary investigation that contextualizes the music and its effects on historical, scientific, and social levels. It is an essential book for music lovers and everybody seeking to improve their mental and physical health.
"This thoroughly researched written book is the result of a lifetime of careful study and wide experience. It contains revelations on virtually every page concerning the therapeutic benefits of music." Dr. Walter Clark, Professor of Musicology, University of California Riverside.
"I appreciate this book because it is written in a way that activates the reader's senses in a way that not only informs but efficiently urges us to participate creatively, letting the music do its magic to us." Alfons Karabuda, President International Music Council.

About the author
Patricia Caicedo is a soprano, a musicologist, and a physician whose scholarship and performances center around Latin American and Iberian art songs and the intersection of music and health. Her research is framed under de-colonial studies.
She has released eleven albums and published numerous academic articles and scholarly editions of scores and books, including The Latin American Art Song: Sounds of the Imagined Nations, the go-to history on its subject, and her groundbreaking book, We are what we listen to: the impact of music on individual and social health.
She has performed worldwide in addition to founding and directing the Barcelona Festival of Song. Patricia is often invited to present lectures and masterclasses at prestigious universities and conservatories worldwide.
Her interest in exploring the possibilities of technology brought her to create Mundo Arts, an Internet company that developed into a Music Publisher, a Record label, and an Online Store.
Patricia holds a Ph.D. in musicology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and a Medical Doctor’s degree from the Escuela Colombiana de Medicina. She is a former Board Member of the International Music Council.
