Explorations in Urban Ethnomusicology: Hard Lessons from the Spectacularly Ordinary1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 March 2019

Extract

In the last decade, the emergence and rapid growth of ethnomusicological interest in urban phenomena has stirred up a fresh sense of methodological and conceptual inadequacy in the face of current needs.

New questions are being asked; old ones are being reformulated.
