In Local Fusions, author Barbara Rose Lange explores musical life
in Hungary, Slovakia, and Austria between the end of the Cold War
and the world financial crisis of 2008. With case studies from
Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna, the book looks at the ways that
artists generated social commentary and tried new ways of working
together as the political and economic atmosphere shifted during
this time. Drawn from a variety of sources, the case studies
illustrate how young musicians redefined a Central European history
of elevating the arts by fusing poetry, local folk music, and other
vernacular music with jazz, Asian music, art music, and electronic
dance music. Their projects rejected exclusion based on ethnic
background or gender prevalent in Central Europe's present
far-right political movements, and instead embraced diverse modes
of expression. Through this, the musicians asserted woman power,
broadened masculinities, and declared affinity with regional
minorities such as the Romani people.
