Music in the Hispanic Caribbean is one of several case-study
volumes that can be used along with Thinking Musically, the core
book in the Global Music Series. Thinking Musically incorporates
music from many diverse cultures and establishes the framework for
exploring the practice of music around the world. It sets the stage
for an array of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a
single area of the world. Each case study uses the contemporary
musical situation as a point of departure, covering historical
information and traditions as they relate to the present.** The
Spanish-speaking islands of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican
Republic make up a relatively small region, but their musical and
cultural traditions have had a dramatic, sweeping impact on the
world. The first brief, stand-alone volume to explore the music of
these three islands, Music in the Hispanic Caribbean provides a
vibrant introduction to diverse musical styles including salsa,
merengue, reggaeton, plena, Latin jazz, and the bolero.
Ethnomusicologist Robin Moore employs three themes in his survey of
Hispanic Caribbean music: - The cultural legacy of the slave trade
- The creolization of Caribbean musical styles - Diaspora,
migration, and movement Each theme lends itself to a discussion of
the region's traditional musical genres as well as its more
contemporary forms. The author draws on his extensive regional
fieldwork, offering accounts of local performances, interviews with
key performers, and vivid illustrations. A compelling,
comprehensive review, Music in the Hispanic Caribbean is ideal for
introductory undergraduate courses in world music or
ethnomusicology and for upper-level courses on Caribbean and Latin
American music and/or culture. Packaged with a 70-minute CD
containing musical examples, the text features numerous listening
activities that actively engage students with the music. The
companion website (www.oup.com/us/globalmusic) includes
supplementary materials for instructors.
