Global Pop World Music World Markets
Paperback Edition: 1/1997
From the Tibetan Buddhist and Native American influences in the music of Pauline Oliveros to Jamaican dancehall, rap, and bhangra of Apache Indian, this work examines the rise of "world music" and "world beat." Musicologist Timothy D. Taylor draws on a wide variety of sources,
from popular culture, interviews, liner notes, the Internet and the music itself, charting a path through the issues surrounding contemporary world music. Included in this volume are detailed discussions of such musicians as the Kronos Quartet, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Youssou N'Dour, Peter Gabriel, Johnny Clegg, Ang`elique Kidjo, Sheila Chandra, Apache Indian, Zap Mama and a host of others. Exloring the dynamics behind such collaborations as Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Taylor addresses the effects that these collaborations have on the music itself with particular emphasis on music authenticity and the expectations around it. In addition to looking at the ways western pop and rock appropriates music from other cultures, he also demonstrates how these cross-cultural collaborations bring music and musicians from other cultures to a much wider audience.
