This book examines the diverse facets of popular music in Malta,
paying special attention to ghana (Malta's folk song), the wind
band tradition, and modern popular music. Ciantar provides
intriguing discussions and examples of how popular music on this
small Mediterranean island country interacts with other aspects of
the island's life and culture such as language, religion, history,
customs, and politics. Through a series of ethnographic vignettes,
the book explores the music as it takes place in bars, at
festivals, and during village celebrations, and considers how it is
talked about in the local press, at group gatherings, and on social
media. The ethnography adopted here is that of a native musician
and ethnomusicologist and therefore marries the author's memories
with ongoing observations and their evaluation.
