Music and tourism, both integral to the culture and livelihood of
the circum-Caribbean region, have until recently been approached
from disparate disciplinary perspectives. Scholars who specialize
in tourism studies typically focus on issues such as economic
policy, sustainability, and political implications; music scholars
are more likely to concentrate on questions of identity,
authenticity, neo-colonialism, and appropriation. Although the
insights generated by these paths of scholarship have long been
essential to study of the region, Sun, Sea, and Sound turns its
attention to the dynamics and interrelationships between tourism
and music throughout the region. Editors Timothy Rommen and Daniel
T. Neely bring together a group of leading scholars from the fields
of ethnomusicology, anthropology, mobility studies, and history to
develop and explore a framework - termed music touristics - that
considers music in relation to the wide range of tourist
experiences that have developed in the region. Over the course of
eleven chapters, the authors delve into an array of issues
including the ways in which countries such as Jamaica and Cuba have
used music to distinguish themselves within the international
tourism industry, the tourism surrounding music festivals in St.
Lucia and New Orleans, the intersections between music and sex
tourism in Brazil, and spirituality tourism in Cuba. An
indispensable resource for the study of music and tourism in global
perspective, Sun, Sea, and Sound is essential reading for scholars
and students across disciplines interested in the Caribbean region.
Lead author Bruno Nettl. The grand-daddy of Ethnomusicology
compiled the first edition, and his name and contributions to the
field have brought the book forward several editions. Chapters are
written by established/known ethnomusicologists specializing in the
particular region, in the perhaps the most balanced attempt to get
expert authors together. Does not aim to teach students how to do
field work (like Titon), per se, or other ethnomusicological study,
and does not aim to teach music - rather, how to think about music
in world perspective and the major themes and issues that emerge
when we take the musics of the world seriously. Draws a big picture
and explains why the musics of the world matter.....the economics,
politics, and social dynamics of these sounds.
Critical Themes in World Music is a reader of nine short essays by
the authors of the successful Excursions in World Music, Eighth
Edition, edited by Timothy Rommen and Bruno Nettl. The essays
introduce key and contemporary themes in ethnomusicology-gender and
sexuality, coloniality and race, technology and media, sound and
space, and more-creating a counterpoint to the area studies
approach of the textbook, a longstanding model for thinking about
the musics of the world. Instructors can use this flexible resource
as a primary or secondary path through the materials, on its own,
or in concert with Excursions in World Music, allowing for a more
complete understanding that highlights the many continuities and
connections that exist between musical communities, regardless of
region. Critical Themes in World Music presents a
critically-minded, thematic study of ethnomusicology, one that
serves to counterbalance, complicate, and ultimately complement the
companion textbook.

The contributors to Sounds of Vacation examine the commodification
of music and sound at popular vacation destinations throughout the
Caribbean in order to tease out the relationships between political
economy, hospitality, and the legacies of slavery and colonialism.
Drawing on case studies from Barbados, the Bahamas, Guadeloupe,
Saint Martin, and Saint Lucia, the contributors point to the myriad
ways live performances, programmed music, and the sonic environment
heighten tourists' pleasurable vacation experience. They explore,
among other topics, issues of authenticity in Bahamian music;
efforts to give tourists in Barbados peace and quiet at a former
site of colonial violence; and how resort soundscapes extend beyond
music to encompass the speech accents of local residents. Through
interviews with resort managers, musicians, and hospitality
workers, the contributors also outline the social, political, and
economic pressures and interests that affect musical labor and the
social encounters of musical production. In so doing, they prompt a
rethinking of how to account for music and sound's resonances in
postcolonial spaces. Contributors. Jerome Camal, Steven Feld,
Francio Guadeloupe, Jocelyne Guilbault, Jordi Halfman, Susan
Harewood, Percy C. Hintzen, Timothy Rommen
Excursions in World Music is a comprehensive introductory textbook
to world music, creating a panoramic experience for students by
engaging the many cultures around the globe and highlighting the
sheer diversity to be experienced in the world of music. At the
same time, the text illustrates the often profound ways through
which a deeper exploration of these many different communities can
reveal overlaps, shared horizons, and common concerns in spite of
and, because of, this very diversity. The new seventh edition
introduces five brand new chapters, including chapters by three new
contributors on the Middle East, South Asia, and Korea, as well as
a new chapter on Latin America along with a new introduction
written by Timothy Rommen. General updates have been made to other
chapters, replacing visuals and updating charts/statistics.
Excursions in World Music remains a favorite among
ethnomusicologists who want students to explore the in-depth
knowledge and scholarship that animates regional studies of world
music. A companion website is available at no additional charge.
For instructors, there is a new test bank and instructor's manual.
Numerous student resources are posted, including streamed audio
tracks for most of the listening guides, interactive quizzes,
flashcards, and an interactive map with pinpoints of interest and
activities. An ancillary package of a 3-CD set of audio tracks is
available for separate purchase. PURCHASING OPTIONS Paperback:

"Mek Some Noise," Timothy RommenOCOs ethnographic study of
Trinidadian gospel music, engages the multiple musical styles
circulating in the nationOCOs Full Gospel community and illustrates
the carefully negotiated and contested spaces that they occupy in
relationship to questions of identity. By exploring gospelypso,
jamoo (JehovahOCOs music), gospel dancehall, and North American
gospel music, along with the discourses that surround performances
in these styles, he illustrates the extent to which value, meaning,
and appropriateness are continually circumscribed and reinterpreted
in the process of coming to terms with what it looks and sounds
like to be a Full Gospel believer in Trinidad. The local, regional,
and transnational implications of these musical styles, moreover,
are read in relationship to their impact on belief (and vice
versa), revealing the particularly nuanced poetics of conviction
that drive both apologists and detractors of these styles. Rommen
sets his investigation against a concisely drawn, richly historical
narrative and introduces a theoretical approach which he calls the
ethics of styleOCoa model that privileges the convictions embedded
in this context and that emphasizes their role in shaping the terms
upon which identity is continually being constructed in Trinidad.
The result is an extended meditation on the convictions that lie
behind the creation and reception of style in Full Gospel
Trinidad."Copub: Center for Black Music Research ""
This book examines the role music has played in the formation of
the political and national identity of the Bahamas. Timothy Rommen
analyzes Bahamian musical life as it has been influenced and shaped
by the islands' location between the United States and the rest of
the Caribbean; tourism; and Bahamian colonial and postcolonial
history. Focusing on popular music in the second half of the
twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, in particular
rake-n-scrape and Junkanoo, Rommen finds a Bahamian music that has
remained culturally rooted in the local even as it has undergone
major transformations. Highlighting the ways entertainers have
represented themselves to Bahamians and to tourists, "Funky Nassau"
illustrates the shifting terrain that musicians navigated during
the rapid growth of tourism and in the aftermath of independence.
