In the mid-20th century, African musicians took up Cuban music as
their own and claimed it as a marker of black Atlantic connections
and of cosmopolitanism untethered from European colonial relations.
Today, Cuban/African bands popular in Africa in the 1960s and '70s
have moved into the world music scene in Europe and North America,
and world music producers and musicians have created new West
African-Latin American collaborations expressly for this market
niche. World Music and the Black Atlantic follows two of these
bands, Orchestra Baobab and AfroCubism, and the industry and
audiences that surround them-from musicians' homes in West Africa,
to performances in Europe and North America, to record label
offices in London. World Music and the Black Atlantic examines the
intensely transnational experiences of musicians, industry
personnel, and audiences as they collaboratively produce,
circulate, and consume music in a specific post-colonial era of
globalization. Musicians, industry personnel, and audiences work
with and push against one another as they engage in personal
collaborations imbued with histories of global travel and trade.
They move between and combine Cuban and Malian melodies, Norwegian
and Senegalese markets, and histories of slavery and independence
as they work together to create international commodities.
Understanding the unstable and dynamic ways these peoples, musics,
markets, and histories intersect elucidates how world music actors
assert their places within, and produce knowledge about, global
markets, colonial histories, and the black Atlantic. World Music
and the Black Atlantic offers a nuanced view of a global industry
that is informed and deeply marked by diverse transnational
perspectives and histories of transatlantic exchange.
