Book excerpt: The Garifuna Music Reader is the first text to provide scholarly research of all the principal genres of music and music-related rituals of the Garifuna people of Belize and, by similarities in practice and tradition, those of Central America and the United States. This five unit, fourteen chapter anthology explores how the Garifuna interpret their identity, experiences, and existence through traditional songs and dances, contemporary popular music, world music, ancestor rituals, a Christmas processional, and a creolized version of the Catholic mass. The reader is a compilation of new and previously published research by ethnomusicologists, historians, and anthropologists representing both Garifuna and non-Garifuna scholars. It includes website data, musical transcriptions, peer-reviewed journal articles, and chapters from books and dissertations. To aid in retention and comprehension and to meet the needs of scholars, professors, and students, questions follow each article. These questions address key content points, objectives and issues for contemplation, and encourage critical thinking and theoretical analysis. The Garifuna Music Reader is designed to be used with the Garifuna page of the author's website, Music and Ritual in the African Diaspora, which includes audio-visual examples referenced in each chapter as well as answers to the chapter questions. Although the reader is designed for scholars and students of world music it is of value to research and courses in cultural anthropology, Caribbean studies, and African diaspora studies. Oliver N. Greene holds a Ph.D. in musicology with an emphasis in ethnomusicology from Florida State University. He is an associate professor of music at Georgia State University where he teaches courses on world music, carnival traditions, and the history of American popular music. He has produced world music concerts, cultural festivals, and websites, and published articles in world music encyclopedias and journals. He has published chapters in Sun, Sea, and Sound: Music and Tourism in the Circum-Caribbean (2014) and The Garifuna, A Nation Across Borders: Essays in Social Anthropology (2006). As a recipient of a Rockefeller Fellowship at the Center for Black Music Research, he conducted fieldwork on the relationships between art, dance, and music among the Garifuna. He also produced the documentary film Play, JankunU Play: The Wanaragua Ritual of the Garifuna of Belize (2007).
Download or read book Garifuna Popular Music Renewed Authenticity Tradition and Belonging in Garifuna World Music written by Amy Lynn Frishkey and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost thirty years, the electronically driven dance music punta rock remained the only popular music genre indigenous to the Garifuna, an African-Amerindian group based along Central America's Caribbean coast with U.S. diasporic communities. In 2007, however, a new genre ushered in by the award-winning album Wi tina (I Called Out) by Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective effectively displaced punta rock as the musical icon of Garifuna identity and modernity to the outside world and attained much broader appeal. What I term Garifuna World Music (GWM) arose from the vision of Belizean producer Ivan Duran and Belizean Garifuna punta rock star Palacio to import the acoustic and reflective emphases of traditional music into the commercial realm in order to promote cultural and linguistic preservation internationally. However, they also conceived the genre as a means for securing Garifuna music a foothold within the world music industry, presenting a sustainable music career as a viable option for Garifuna musicians for the first time. Periodic tourist witnessing of secular traditional song-dance performances has long been a component of community life, yet the effects of musically dovetailing tradition with Euro-Anglo cosmopolitan desires are newly felt. This dissertation considers GWM as a nexus between these desires and assertions of cultural identity. Supported by fieldwork undertaken in Belize and Guatemala, I combine ethnography, historiography, and musical analysis not only to examine the multiple hybridities of Garifuna culture as they manifest in Garifuna popular music genres but also their interactions with the state of the millennial world music industry. Specifically, I ask "What was the work of GWM intended to do?" and, in turn, "What is the work actually doing?" While GWM performs industry notions of "authenticity," rooted in esteem granted to activism, African heritage, nostalgia, and exemplarity, many punta rock musicians in Belizean Garifuna communities today consider it "authentic" for a different reason: its adoption of traditional music practices, especially those of an acoustic guitar-based men's genre called paranda, as the starting point for new compositions. Although envisioned and promulgated by a small group, and commercially lucrative for just as few, GWM has generated both local and diasporic pride and provided a means by which young Garifuna men can translate the ethos of their elders into the language of their own highly mediated experiences.
Download or read book Black and Indigenous written by Mark David Anderson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garifuna live in Central America, primarily Honduras, and the United States. Identified as Black by others and by themselves, they also claim indigenous status and rights in Latin America. Examining this set of paradoxes, Mark Anderson shows how, on the one hand, Garifuna embrace discourses of tradition, roots, and a paradigm of ethnic political struggle. On the other hand, Garifuna often affirm blackness through assertions of African roots and affiliations with Blacks elsewhere, drawing particularly on popular images of U.S. blackness embodied by hip-hop music and culture. Black and Indigenous explores the politics of race and culture among Garifuna in Honduras as a window into the active relations among multiculturalism, consumption, and neoliberalism in the Americas. Based on ethnographic work, Anderson questions perspectives that view indigeneity and blackness, nativist attachments and diasporic affiliations, as mutually exclusive paradigms of representation, being, and belonging. As Anderson reveals, within contemporary struggles of race, ethnicity, and culture, indigeneity serves as a normative model for collective rights, while blackness confers a status of subaltern cosmopolitanism. Indigeneity and blackness, he concludes, operate as unstable, often ambivalent, and sometimes overlapping modes through which people both represent themselves and negotiate oppression.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am an author of Garifuna descent from Belize, Central America. The Garifuna people arrived from West Africa to the island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Yurumein ) around 1635 and were exiled by the British in 1796 to the Carribean coast of Roatan, Honduras. After the Garifuna people settled in Honduras, many decided to migrate and built communities in Belize, Guatemala, and Bluefield Nicaragua along the Caribbean Sea in coastal towns and villages. My father's people came to Belize on November 19, 1802. We were not an enslaved group. Garifunas are tri-lingual and speak English, Spanish, and the Carib language, which is an Arawakan language. On May 18th, 2001, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared the Garifuna language, dance, and music in Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua to be a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed by corporate, philanthropic, and governmental organizations as a metaphor for democratic interaction and business dynamics, contemporary jazz culture has a story to tell about the relationship between political economy and social practice in the era of neoliberal capitalism. The Jazz Bubble approaches the emergence of the neoclassical jazz aesthetic since the 1980s as a powerful, if unexpected, point of departure for a wide-ranging investigation of important social trends during this period, extending from the effects of financialization in the music industry to the structural upheaval created by urban redevelopment in major American cities. Dale Chapman draws from political and critical theory, oral history, and the public and trade press, making this a persuasive and compelling work for scholars across music, industry, and cultural studies.
Download or read book Globalization Cultural Identities and Media Representations written by Natascha Gentz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization, Cultural Identities, and Media Representations provides a multidirectional approach for understanding the role of media in constructing cultural identities in a newly globalized media environment. The contributors cover a wide range of topics from different geopolitical areas, historical periods, and media genres. Case studies examined include the shift from print to Internet, local representations of modern world cinema and glo/cal television, narrative strategies in transnational literature, and cultural economics of the mediation of world music in India, China, Algeria, Israel, Europe, and the United States. This case study approach allows for deeper insights into the complexity of each cultural subsystem as part of the whole media culture system. This book exemplifies a transcultural and transdisciplinary dialogue that maps out new—relocalized—territories and borders for mediated cultural identities and also reveals the complexity and connectedness of all of these discourses.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the ways that Garifuna communities in Belize, Central America use religious belief and sacred music to articulate ethnic identity. Belize is in the midst of a tourism boom that has brought an influx of tourists, capital, and access to global media to the small seaside village of Hopkins, Belize. In response to this rapid globalization, Garifuna people in Hopkins are struggling to distinguish who they are and who they will become in the future; both music and spirituality play central roles in these processes of defining self and community. The most influential religious communities in Hopkins are Holy Family Catholic Church and Ligilisi Lareini Bungiu, an inter-denominational Evangelical church. Through musical ethnographies of these two churches, I explore the different ways that each uses music to express faith, values, and Garifunadua u , or "the Garifuna Way." By composing and performing meaningful musical repertoires, Garifuna Christians articulate both local and cosmopolitan facets of present-day Garifuna identity. Until the early 1980s, Hopkins was religiously unified as the vast majority of its residents were Garifuna and Catholic, and the establishment of churches such as Ligilisi Lareini Bungiu has caused conflict in this small village. However, I suggest that the tension engendered by religious pluralism in Hopkins is promoting religious and cultural vitality as individuals and groups are prompted to actively evaluate who they are and what they believe. Garifuna culture has always evolved to meet the changing needs and circumstances of Garinagu. Garifunadua u in the present day is best conceptualized as a multi-directional flow of cultural expressions, beliefs, and values rooted in Garifuna history and tradition. Thus, this dissertation is an exploration of several processes: sociocultural change within Hopkins Village, the commodification of Garifuna music due to Belize's growing tourism industry, and the indigenization of Christianity in Garifuna Catholic and Evangelical churches. Central to this ethnography is the idea that the negotiation of identity--whether collective or individual--involves both looking back toward roots and tradition, as well as looking forward toward choice and innovation.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Music Revival written by Caroline Bithell and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2014 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revivals - movements that revitalize, resuscitate, or re-indigenize traditions perceived as threatened or moribund into new temporal, spatial, or cultural contexts - have been well-documented in Western Europe and Euro-North America. Less documented are the revival processes that have been occurring and recurring elsewhere in the world. And particularly under-analyzed are the aftermaths of revivals: the new infrastructures, musical styles, performance practices, subcultural communities, and value systems that have grown out of revival movements. The Oxford Handbook of Music Revival helps us achieve a deeper understanding of the role and development of traditional, folk, roots, world, classical, and early music in modern-day postindustrial, postcolonial, and postwar contexts. The book's thirty chapters present innovative theoretical perspectives illustrated through new ethnographic case studies on diverse music cultures around the world. Together these essays reveal the potency of acts of revival, resurgence, restoration, and renewal in shaping musical landscapes and transforming social experience. The contributors present research from Euro-America, Native America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, the former Soviet bloc, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. They enrich the field by applying approaches and insights from across the disciplines of ethnomusicology, ethnochoreology, historical musicology, folklore studies, anthropology, ethnology, sociology, and cultural studies. The book makes a powerful argument for the untapped potential of revival as a productive analytical tool in contemporary, global contexts-one that is crucial for understanding manifestations of musical heritage in postmodern, cosmopolitan societies. With its detailed treatment of authenticity, recontextualization, transmission, institutionalization, globalization, and other key concerns, the collection makes a significant impact far beyond the field of revival studies and is crucial for understanding contemporary manifestations of folk, traditional, and heritage music in today's postmodern cosmopolitan societies.
