The translational role for performance is demonstrated in this article through a practice-led investigation into the dynamic relationship between improvised music and dance. The research is based on the analysis of a live performance on Cuban television of ‘Los Problemas de Atilana’ by Orquesta Aragón in the early 1960s, where musical gestures are shown to be embodied in the flute and dance solo ‘duet’ performed by Cuban flautist Richard Egües and dancer Rafael Bacallao, revealing the shared memories of a community bound by common cultural experience. Interdisciplinary in nature, analysis is undertaken by a musician-scholar, a film scholar-practitioner and a professional Cuban dancer-animator in order to unearth details of this embodied repertoire, thus translating and making overt culturally implicit knowledge for those outside of the artistic community of practice, and, in some cases, within it. Through re-performance and re-presentation in the form of a recording and animations, the many meanings embodied in the original performance are examined through analytical text, musical notation, visuals, recordings and animation film.","PeriodicalId":43942,"journal":{"name":"Ethnomusicology Forum","volume":"31 1","pages":"160 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41581302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Roy","doi":"10.1080/17411912.2021.1985562","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17411912.2021.1985562","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Recent scholarship has addressed the roles epistemological colonialism plays in music education. Following several publications on decoloniality in music studies and education, this article discusses how ethnomusicological pedagogies and scholarly practices can engage in unsettling practices of critique and creative action that attend to sites of oppression beyond the reflexes of tokenism, nativism, and other ‘settler moves to innocence’. This article presents some pragmatic directions that come out of the critiques highlighted therein, inspired by pedagogical practices proposed by Chérie Rivers Ndaliko, Marco Cervantes and L.P. Saldaña, and others. This includes a three-module lesson facilitating students through the examination of coloniality in the musical histories of a place, the challenging of coloniality in the practice and consumption of musics today, and the creation of entirely different musical possibilities that re/centre students’ lived experiences, his-/her-/their-stories, and ancestries.","PeriodicalId":43942,"journal":{"name":"Ethnomusicology Forum","volume":"31 1","pages":"50 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43278318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Hizz Collective: acoustic disruption and claiming space in the Cairo soundscape","authors":"Tucker M. Wiedenkeller","doi":"10.1080/17411912.2021.2008263","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17411912.2021.2008263","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This paper examines Hizz, a collective started in Cairo, Egypt, that acts as record label, venue, gallery and artist residency. Through analysing the music that Hizz produces, its spaces and distribution methods, its organisation as a collective, and its international connections, it argues that Hizz creates new forms of social engagement and defiant politics in Cairo, thereby disrupting engrained aesthetic and social patterns. Hizz reflects a post-revolution creativity, pitted against an authoritarian regime and an elitist neo-liberal dance music scene. The aesthetic of Hizz incorporates ambient, noise and post-punk, Sufi mawlid music, mahraganat, and chaabi, in a way that enacts a conversation between different sonic elements in their surroundings. Such local relevance sees Hizz defying the strict class boundaries that define Egyptian society. This paper combines two years of field work in Cairo following the Hizz collective since their inception in 2017, further interviews, and literature on sound and space.","PeriodicalId":43942,"journal":{"name":"Ethnomusicology Forum","volume":"30 1","pages":"443 - 464"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45415685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon ethnographic work, I explore how organisers create and map narratives of musical heritage across the trails’ respective terrains, navigating in the process several challenges pertaining to geography, economics, politics, and ethics. Through this analysis, I offer insight into the broader mechanisms of and tensions that suffuse cultural heritage work aimed at public audiences. More generally, I call for deeper critical engagement with the music trail phenomenon – a multi-sited tourism format within which music, heritage, and place intersect in compelling ways.","PeriodicalId":43942,"journal":{"name":"Ethnomusicology Forum","volume":"30 1","pages":"397 - 421"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47059313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a review of the multifaceted concept of cantora, or female singer of the people, as well as the analysis of four cueca songs, this study offers insights on how Parra negotiated the terms of the Chilean urban folkloric scene of her time. Her trajectory as a folklorist allowed her to vindicate an otherwise disparaged popular culture, and as cantautora, or singer-songwriter, she redefined the gender roles of her time becoming a musical and political referent for her peers, thus offering renovated perspectives on both female musicianship and national identity.","PeriodicalId":43942,"journal":{"name":"Ethnomusicology Forum","volume":"30 1","pages":"358 - 378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43575368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wilkins","doi":"10.1080/17411912.2021.2027112","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17411912.2021.2027112","url":null,"abstract":"We complete the 30th volume of Ethnomusicology Forum following another year living with the COVID-19 virus. As the year ends and we see the rise of another variant of concern, the editors reflect on the impact of the Omicron variant on borders and their closure. As Omicron migrates and spreads, borders have been shut and connections with southern and western Africa in particular have been impacted. Many borders between parts of the Global North remain open, however, despite rising numbers of cases in these locations. Why are certain governments so quick to stop movement from some of the poorest regions of the world, but retain unrestricted movement with close neighbors with whom they share economic might? And at the same time, as booster vaccines campaigns in the Global North kick into high gear, closed-off countries of the South struggle to get first doses to their populations. Borders generate inequity, and whilst the British Forum for Ethnomusicology alongside the editors of Ethnomusicology Forum hold no sway over UK political decision-making, we can offer ways to open virtual borders and encourage conversation between scholars caught on different sides of government-imposed divides. During the autumn one-day conference – which actually took place over two days online in mid-November – the program committee brought together scholars at many different stages of their careers from North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe to discuss ‘Ethnomusicology in 2022 and Beyond’. This year marked the first time that the BFE Executive Committee hosted the conference via the Zoom platform, enabling ethnomusicologists across disparate time zones to share ideas. On the Ethnomusicology Forum editorial team, we further seek to tear down borders with a new initiative to appoint four copy editors who will assist in the preparation of scholarly pieces written by those who have English as a second or third (or fourth!) language. We look forward to hearing new voices in the pages of our journal, so please send in your articles for peer-review! In this issue, we are very pleased to present six stand-alone articles of original research. We open with two articles that engage with folklore and folk revivals in Europe and South America. First, Felix Morgenstern investigates the fascinating presence of Irish music in East Germany during the last two decades of the Cold War as a way for musicians to foreground anti-colonial and anti-imperialist sentiment during an East German folk revival. Deploying Svetlana Boym’s term ‘sideways nostalgia’, Morgenstern explains how German bands adopted Irish rebel songs as a way to rebuild a sense of cultural identity and ‘lost German national pride’ in the fraught and contentious post-war period. Secondly, María Bernardita Batlle Lathrop evaluates the life and work of Violeta Parra, a Chilean singer and folklorist who popularised rural musical practice in urban Chile and further afield during the middle of the twentieth c","PeriodicalId":43942,"journal":{"name":"Ethnomusicology Forum","volume":"30 1","pages":"337 - 339"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44144368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
