Sonic Signatures: Music, Migration and the City at Night (Urban Music Studies) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

An anthology that evokes the music, residents, and vibrant nightlife of migrants in cities around the world.
 
Sonic Signatures interprets the music of contemporary migrants from Montreal to Rotterdam, Oslo to Tokyo. Drawing on research in urban musicology, international migration, and the emerging field of night studies, this edited volume illustrates that sonic signatures are fundamental to nighttime cityscapes, a way of experiencing space and belonging. Contributors to the anthology consider a wide array of genres—including EDM, batida do gueto, and iSicathamiya—to understand how migrants resist oppression, long for people and places, and shape their adopted cities through music.
