Abstract

In American Originals: A New World, A New Canon , Agave Baroque and Reginald L. Mobley present a survey of music composed in the Americas from colonial times up to the twentieth century. Showcasing music that is mostly by composers of color, this album confronts head-on our colonial and postcolonial musical histories while challenging the musical narrative we have been taught, that of the ontological supremacy of the European canon.
