Sounds of Identity
Cultural Writing. Music. African Studies. Asian Studies. Book two of Musike. Edited by Shihan de Silva Jayasuriya. SOUNDS OF IDENTITY: THE MUSIC OF AFRO-ASIANS "concerns the survival of musical traditions among Africans who were displaced to Asia. Memories of the ancestral homeland seem to be embedded in these musical traditions. Music is also an important factor in identity formation of diasporas. Music, however, is not always limited to the diaspora and there are spillovers to the host societies"--from the Editor's Introduction. This volume features Amy Catlin-Jairazbhoy on Sidi African music, Aisha Bilkhair Khalifa on Spirit Posession and its practices in Dubai, Lila Ingrams on African connections in Yemeni music, Galia Sabar & Shlomit Kanari on African Musicians in Israel and many more. SOUNDS OF IDENTITY is a compelling, thought provoking exploration of this fascinating musical "border" between cultures.
Music and Ritual
Cultural Writing. Published through Muske, whose purpose is to research, recover, document and conserve the world's ethnomusicological heritage and to disseminate it across a wide audience, the papers in MUSIC AND RITUAL "were first prepared for a panel...at the 2005 annual conference of the British Forum for Ethnomusicology....At the conference, it seemed timely to return to how performance informs, illustrates and interpenetrates ritual, without setting a clear, narrow, agenda in our call for papers...[These papers] explore questions raised by the performance of music and movement, and their interrelationships, in artistic practice beyond the European art and popular music canons"--from the Introduction by Keith Howard.
