This chapter reflects upon the ways in which León’s life and works have been portrayed to create the idea of an artistic legacy. The chapter unfolds around three concepts: representation, identity, and legacy. The first part is an exploration of the ways in which Tania León has been represented in literature about music in the United States and Latin America. The second part is devoted to León’s discourse of self-identification and provides a detailed exploration of the ways in which she rejects identity labels and the implications of this rejection. The final section assesses León’s current legacy as a musician, artist, educator, and community organizer in relation to the way processes of canonization of León and her work have unfolded for several years.
