Celebrating the diversity of indigenous nations, cultures and
religions, the essays which comprise this volume discuss the musics
performed by a wide variety of peoples as an integral part of their
cultural traditions. These include examinations of the various
styles of Maori, Inuit and Australian Aboriginal musics, and the
role of music in Korean Shaman rituals. Indeed, music forms a key
component of many such rituals and belief systems and examples of
these are explored amongst the peoples of Uganda, Amazonia and
Africa. Through analysis of these rituals and the part music plays
in them, the essays also open up further themes including social
groupings and gender divisions, and engage with issues and debates
on how we define and approach the study of indigeneity, religiosity
and music. With downloadable resources featuring some of the music
discussed in the book and further information on other available
recordings, this is a book which gives readers the opportunity to
gain a richer experience of the lived realities of indigenous
religious musics.
