This book explores the power music has to address health
inequalities and the social determinants of health and wellbeing.
It examines music participation as a determinant of wellbeing and
as a transformative tool to impact on wider social, cultural and
environmental conditions. Uniquely, in this volume health and
wellbeing outcomes are conceptualised on a continuum, with
potential effects identified in relation to individual
participants, their communities but also society at large. While
arts therapy approaches have a clear place in the text, the
emphasis is on music making outside of clinical contexts and the
broader roles musicians, music facilitators and educators can play
in enhancing wellbeing in a range of settings beyond the therapy
room. This innovative edited collection will be of great interest
to scholars and practitioners of music, social services, medical
humanities, education and the broader health field in the social
and medical sciences.

The islands of Chiloe, in southern Chile, have developed a distinct
culture over several centuries, blending indigenous traditions and
Spanish settler heritage to create a vibrant pattern of folklore,
music, dance, and related creative practices. This cultural
heritage has become an important aspect of the islands' identity
and is key to their successful marketing as a tourist destination.
However, these elements exist in tension with new developments,
most particularly the introduction of salmon aquaculture, which has
disrupted traditional livelihood patterns and polluted the region's
marine environment. This volume analyzes the development of the
islands' distinct culture with a particular focus on music and
dance. Key topics include the relation of tradition and modernity,
the impact of tourism on cultural practice, and the relationship
between social activism and music culture. The authors complement
this focus with a discussion of their own creative engagements with
the region through the production of the music album Viaje a Chiloe
(2018) and through the work of the audiovisual ensemble The
Moviolas (in 2015-2018).
