This article discusses the tactics and strategies of multilingual activism undertaken by pioneering hip hop groups Prophets of da City at the inception of hip hop in South Africa. It considers the historical transition from apartheid South Africa to the new South Africa and how new and emerging forms of multilingual activism such as the AfriKaaps movement are contributing to redefining what we mean by multilingualism. The article also links these forms of multilingual activism to an alternative politics of multilingual voice being promoted in the public space of the country.","PeriodicalId":40750,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Popular Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44841719","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}

Alim","doi":"10.1558/JWPM.36670","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/JWPM.36670","url":null,"abstract":"This double special issue explores hip hop activism and representational politics in selected countries from the global north and south. The authors in part one of this double issue offer key examples of the different forms that hip hop activism may take and offer meaningful insights into debates about agency in a media and cultural terrain that is shaped by US cultural imperialism and colonial legacies. Artists may exercise agency via performances that push linguistic, literary, aesthetic and political boundaries that aim to set off critical lyrical engagement with key issues or by confronting such issues sonically as a turntablist. They may also exercise agency in the context of workshops in dialogues between educators, learners, artists, activists and scholars. Effectively, this issue allows us to think about the ways in which hip hop has become a vehicle for marginalized subjects to address their respective political contexts.","PeriodicalId":40750,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Popular Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46155819","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}
{"title":"Rehearsing the Éthnik-Jazz Aesthetic: Insights from Practices with Athenian Musicians","authors":"Ioannis Tsioulakis","doi":"10.1558/JWPM.38564","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/JWPM.38564","url":null,"abstract":"Academic analyses of music aesthetics often privilege the intellectual process of creating symbolic connections over the practical negotiation between performing musicians in a rehearsal setting. In contrast, this article examines the way in which aesthetic elements (styles of improvisation, instrumental riffs, basslines, rhythm grooves, and so on) emerge as a result of power struggles, personal rivalries, and competing stylistic sensibilities. Drawing on my research among ethnic-jazz music groups in Athens, who experimented with cross-overs between funk rhythms, Eastern Mediterranean modal melodies, and jazz harmonization, this article will reveal how musical hybridity can become a contested terrain during rehearsals, creating social dramas of different magnitudes. The first part of the article examines ethnographic vignettes from rehearsals with Athenian musicians, while the second part analyses written testimonies from musicians on their perception of rehearsals and their role in collective music-making.","PeriodicalId":40750,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Popular Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67599609","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}
