Their communal history reaches far back into colonial times, and they did not distinguish clearly from which territories in Africa these Kaffirs, an expression introduced by Portuguese rulers for slaves and servants brought to Sri Lanka from African shores, came and how they identify. Currently, Kaffirs are seen through the gaze of public writings and common biases. They are believed to have their performance styles and their strong association with the drum, dance, and vocal genres integrated into the canon of Sinhalese traditions. \u0000One specific vocal expression is the singing of manja songs, which are introduced and roughly analysed in this short paper. Manja songs are not so widely known to all people living in Sri Lanka. A specific study of these songs has not yet taken place. The main methods used are microanalysis, literature studies, and open interviews with those who are connected to Kaffirs, either as members of the group or as people related to their studies and performing arts. Beyond presenting the exciting text repertoire, it is to connect the musical skills that come with this way of singing with related arts such as dancing and drumming. The Kaffirs’ performance potentials are widely underestimated, as many Kaffirs have integrated, through marriage and social subordination, into the current society. Yet, it is important to focus on the snippets in the history of developing performance skills and their relatedness to another continent in order to help understand global issues and their future.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":36147,"journal":{"name":"Asian-European Music Research Journal","volume":"69 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139004633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It offers the experiences of diasporic pipa player Wu\u0000Man as an insider’s viewpoint, arguing that the demonstration and emphasis of traditional pipa playing techniques\u0000and styles are important to a successful contemporary performance. This article is the first to disclose Wu Man’s\u0000experience in how she applies traditional pipa music to the numerous successful premieres of pipa concertos,\u0000framing the pipa concerto as just one example of a much wider trend in the musical worldthat of the\u0000commissioning and performance of new music for cross-cultural instrumental groups. There are two essential\u0000elements to the upkeep of traditional pipa playing: one lies with the composer’s understanding of pipa music in\u0000their newly composed pieces and the other lies with the pipa player’s abilities (their mastery of playing techniques,\u0000broader experience in various traditional music genres, creativity, and taking on a leading role in playing). Thus,\u0000in this article, I will analyze these elements to reveal how a globally successful pipa musician has interpreted and\u0000translated the traditional aspects of pipa music in a global world.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":36147,"journal":{"name":"Asian-European Music Research Journal","volume":"351 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82595306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The methodology of this study is based on a qualitative approach narrative method,\u0000and information was collected through interviews, records, autobiographies, and various reports and books\u0000written by Kulatillake. Seven in-depth semistructured interviews were carried out at the University of the Visual\u0000and Performing Arts, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka, in September and November 2022. The participants were senior\u0000academic members and a scientific officer at C. de S. Kulatillake Research Centre. As a sampling method,\u0000nonprobability purposive sampling was used. The data were evaluated using content analysis. Kulatillake has\u0000always approached folk music from a scientific standpoint, linking it to ethnomusicology. He discovered 36\u0000indigenous singing styles unique to Sri Lanka. According to Kulatillake, the Sri Lankan double-read instrument\u0000horanewa is a West Asian migrant.

He discovered that the strange aspect of the visama nadi (irregular pulse) movement in Sri\u0000Lankan drum music is a unique style and should be accepted as a great feature inherited from the folk music of\u0000this country. Kulatillake traced cultural identity and pride; documented, taught, and presented it to national and\u0000international audiences; and preserved it for future generations, according to the study.

Amy Wilkinson is particularly interesting because in 1922, she brought\u0000her Chinese Blind Boys Band to England and they toured all over the country giving concerts. The concerts were\u0000widely reported in the local press, and so we have quite detailed positive accounts of how well the band played.\u0000Any scepticism about what the standard of performance might have been like can be quelled by reading these\u0000accounts. What this book attempts to do is understand how these early pioneers developed systems to enable the\u0000blind Chinese to read in Chinese, with first the use of embossed letters and then Braille. They then went on to\u0000teach music notation with embossed systems and then later Braille music notation. There are considerable technical\u0000difficulties for blind people to read Braille music notation, and these must have been made more challenging\u0000teaching blind Chinese boys Western instruments and music that required an understanding of Western harmony\u0000and rhythm.

The traditions and cultures have been travelling across\u0000generations via media through centuries. And as the media experienced technological advancement, it became\u0000more potent and started playing even more crucial role. The ability of the media contents to reach to masses and\u0000the preservation of the content has allowed preservation and subsequent promotion of various art forms. This paper\u0000concerns with the Indian classical music and the role media played in promoting it. Cinema has been the prime\u0000carrier of the art form but other mediums too have played a significant role. The related literature suggests the\u0000same and provides evidence for the same. The literature however mostly relates to art in general with very little\u0000reference to Indian Classical Music. The objective of this paper is to study the perceived role of media in promoting\u0000Indian Classical Music. The study was conducted using survey method on 246 (N) respondents. The data was\u0000analysed using statistical analysis including ANOVA and T-Test to find the difference in opinions of the\u0000respondents categorised on various basis. The findings suggest that people strongly believe that media has been\u0000instrumental in promoting Indian Classical Music. The feeling however is not the same for all mediums but for\u0000some mediums like Radio and Cinema. People also believe that reality shows have brought Indian classical music\u0000to the fore though it still has not translated into the creation of greater opportunities leading to more financial\u0000freedom amongst the classical musicians.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":36147,"journal":{"name":"Asian-European Music Research Journal","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79373736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
