Furthermore, it teases out the degree to which the affinity of Austrian performers and audiences with Irish folk music might provide an alternative sphere of cultural identification to indigenous Austrian folk-music practices. Combining ethnographic and historical inquiry, the article unravels how various nostalgically sustained imaginaries of Irishness find complex refractions in the Austrian present, while also interrogating the stakes of an emerging insistence upon the primacy of “the music itself” in ethnographic voices.","PeriodicalId":43357,"journal":{"name":"YEARBOOK FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135397350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines how Damaru navigates and carves a niche in Singapore’s multicultural milieu with the concept of a pan-Indian folk drumming ensemble, and how drummers create artistic products that engage an audience of different sociocultural backgrounds. An analysis of two of Damaru’s rhythmic compositions suggests that drumming, mixing Indian folk drums and rhythmic patterns, and performing the rhythmic patterns in sequence have helped Damaru’s rhythmic compositions reach a broader audience, enabling the ensemble to win state grants and performance opportunities.","PeriodicalId":43357,"journal":{"name":"YEARBOOK FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47634352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Released in 2021 in the People’s Republic of China, it was co-produced by the Hong Kong Stuntman Association (HKSA) and Acme Image (Beijing) Film Cultural Co., Ltd.. The director, Wei Junzi (b.1978), is a film expert in mainland China with special interest inHong Kong cinema. A first-time director,Wei has published several books on Hong Kong cinema. In 2016, he read an article on the closure of the last rooftop martial arts school in Hong Kong that inspired him to express his resentment in writing. Eric Tsang Chi-wai (b. 1953), a filmmaker and former stuntman in Hong Kong, really liked his essay and introduced him to Chin Kar-lok (b. 1965), the HKSA president and later the producer of this film. Chin invited Wei to the 2017 spring festival dinner of the association, where he met many famous and unknown action film heroes and then decided to make this documentary to tell their stories (Ka 2021). Wei chose a fresh perspective—that of stunt stars rather than directors—to narrate a history of Hong Kong action film. He highly values the interviewees’ own voices and more than thirty interviewees appear in the film. In fact, the film is filled with mostly interview footage with no voice-over narration and little use of intertitles. Most of the interviewees were born in the 1950s and became active in the stunt industry between the mid-1960s and early 1990s. While the film presents a large amount of information, a few dominant themes emerge: transmedia cultural production, histories of Chinese opera and action movies in Hong Kong, masculinity, and transnationality.","PeriodicalId":43357,"journal":{"name":"YEARBOOK FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44174129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And once again, readers are also reminded of the transcultural musical flows and fluid genres that defy national ideals exemplified in Chapter Sixteen of Ellorin’s study of the nomadic sea-faring ethnic minority Sama-Bajau’s Sangbai performance. The Coda and the Afterword: Bercerita (Sharing Stories) demonstrate Nusantara’s popular music engagements with global and transnational trends. The reflections and the conversations with various local artists from Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines draw readers to further explore the ambiguous meaning of the term “Nusantara” and its implications on musical practices in the region. Made in Nusantara: Studies in Popular Music is an essential contribution to the field of popular music studies in the region and globally. Conceptually, the volume provides a fresh take on Nusantara supported by examples in the respective essays, and establishes a new praxis in the study of popular music in maritime Southeast Asia. With resources such as a spread of pictures featuring artists and album sleeves, a collection of selected bibliography, and an extensive index, both scholars and students in popular music and across the interdisciplinary studies of social sciences will not only find this volume insightful but also enjoyable to read. Made in Nusantara: Studies in Popular Music is definitely one of the few edited volumes dedicated to the study of popular music in maritime Southeast Asia and for that reason, I hope that it will inspire many more similar works that explore other different issues in popular music in the intricately connected and the often-contested shared cultural space of the region.","PeriodicalId":43357,"journal":{"name":"YEARBOOK FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46200762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
