Sinopse

Jungle Notes Sound examines the journey of Baka music from the Central African rainforest into the digital age, focusing on cultural preservation and the impact of technology. This exploration is crucial for understanding how indigenous cultures navigate globalization while maintaining their heritage. The book delves into the complex polyphonic vocal techniques and unique instruments crafted from rainforest materials, highlighting music's integral role in Baka social life and rituals.

 
The book argues that while digital platforms offer unprecedented opportunities for Baka music to reach global audiences, they also pose risks such as copyright infringement and cultural appropriation. It emphasizes ethical considerations and collaborative strategies for responsible and sustainable sharing of Baka music, respecting the community's cultural ownership.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the Baka people and their musical heritage, the book progresses through an analysis of musical elements and social functions to an examination of digital platforms and ethical considerations.

The Blues - A Very Short...

Elijah Wald

Praised as "suave, soulful, ebullient" (Tom Waits), Elijah Wald is one of the leading popular music critics of his generation. In The Blues, Wald surveys a genre at the heart of American culture. 
 
 
 
It has been defined by lyrical structure, or as a progression of chords, or as a set of practices reflecting West African "tonal and rhythmic approaches," using a five-note "blues scale." He traces its roots in work and praise songs, and shows how it was transformed by such professional performers as W. C. Handy, who first popularized the blues a century ago. He follows its evolution from Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith through Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix; identifies the impact of rural field recordings of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, and others; explores the role of blues in the development of both country music and jazz; and looks at the popular rhythm and blues trends of the 1940s and 1950s, from the uptown West Coast style of T-Bone Walker to the "down home" Chicago sound of Muddy Waters. Wald brings the story up to the present, touching on the effects of blues on American poetry, and its connection to modern styles such as rap. 
 
 
 
As with all of Oxford's Very Short Introductions, The Blues tells you—with insight, clarity, and wit—everything you need to know to understand this quintessentially American musical genre.
