Analytical and Cross-Cultural Studies in World Music
Analytical and Cross-Cultural Studies in World Music presents intriguing explanations of extraordinary musical creations from diverse cultures across the world. All the authors are experts, deeply engaged in the traditions they describe.

Música em debate
Este livro enfoca, entre outros, os acervos fonográficos (propósitos e dilemas) de música em tradição oral, o direito autoral e as diversas formas de propriedade intelectual, as inter-relações musicais entre a África e as Américas, música e alteridade, as relações recíprocas de apropriação entre repertórios musicais socialmente estratificados e os insights sobre música e sociedade encontráveis na instigante obra de Claude Lévi-Strauss.

In considering the roles played by cities as hubs of cultural intersection, socialization, exchange and transformation; as ...
