Popular music in the Americas, from jazz, Cuban and Latin salsa to
disco and rap, is overwhelmingly neo-African. Created in the midst
of war and military invasion, and filtered through a Western
worldview, these musical forms are completely modern in their
sensibilities: they are in fact the very sound of modern life. But
the African religious philosophy at their core involved a longing
for earlier eras ones that pre-dated the technological discipline
of labor forced on captive populations by the European occupiers.
In this groundbreaking new book, Timothy Brennan shows how the
popular music of the Americas the music of entertainment,
nightlife, and leisure is involved in a devotion to an African
religious worldview that survived the ravages of slavery and found
its way into the rituals of everyday listening. In doing so he
explores the challenge posed by Afro-Latin music to a world music
system dominated by a few wealthy countries and the processes by
which Afro-Latin music has been absorbed into the imperial
imagination.
