The saints who sing and dance
Popular Catholic traditions in Brazil are typically organized around the devotion of a particular saint. Many of the popular saints linked to such traditions in Southeast Brazil are said to have been musicians when they walked the earth. They are remembered, therefore, through the performance of musics they are thought to have been involved in, which generally have participatory formats, engaging devotees in lively collectives of musicking and da…
Music, Convert, and Subject in the North Sumatran Mission Field
This case study on the Toba Batak of Northern Sumatra focuses on a model 19th-century German missionary, whose success in the almost complete conversion of the Toba was predicated on a politics of selective tolerance, in which certain local codes and practices were encouraged, while others were identified for replacement with Christian practices and emblems. Through a discussion of the musical tensions involved in this process of selective exchan…
Songs of Oru Olai and the Praxis of Alternative Dalit Christian Modernities in India
This chapter addresses an alternative Dalit Christian modernity transmitted and practiced through song and drumming in Tamil Nadu, India. Using two examples of the praxis of sharing , I analyze expressions of agency by the caste and gender oppressed that shows an awareness of discourses of liberation in both the bible and the modern world outside the caste-inflected village. Daily practice of economic sustainability through community finds its mu…
Parading Protestantisms and the Flute Bands of Postconflict Northern Ireland
This chapter examines the Protestant parading tradition in Northern Ireland with particular focus on the dominance of the flute band scene within it. It provides an in-depth discussion into the central characteristics of each flute band type, namely, blood and thunder, melody and part-music, through an ethnographic analysis of five flute bands. The social, political and religious orientations of each band are examined, as well as their choices in…
Music as Shared Space in Mennonite Development Work in Chad
This chapter highlights negotiations of meanings a Western church worker encountered in a Chadian congregation. For many mainline churches, “missions agencies,” focused on proselytization, are not the sole or even primary mode of outreach; “development agencies,” focused on local economic and social development, complement them. These two types of agencies are tied, through institutional memories in Western and African churches, to the cultural, …
Coexistence of Causal and Cultural Expressions of Musical Values among the Sabaot of Kenya
Through the experience of the Sabaot of western Kenya, this chapter highlights the complex dialectic that engages both missionaries and the missionized in ongoing cultural exchange. While early missionaries may have introduced Western hymnody (which did not follow the tonal contours of the Sabaot language), many current musical projects are directed toward the search for a “traditional mix” that assigns Christian lyrics and meanings to songs in a…
Chant as the Articulation of Christian Aramean Spirithood
For Urfalli Suryanis, an ethno-religious migrant community from Turkish Urfa/Edessa, chant is of paramount importance. Using Syriac, the fugitive Christians who escaped post-WWI persecution continue to practise this ancient oral musical tradition in their new home in Syria. This minority group has a communally agreed conception of identity that should be understood in its proper set of terms. Their conception of Suryaniness may best be seen throu…
Palestinian Christmas Songs for Peace and Justice in Sacred Place and Politicized Space
This chapter describes ways Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem use Christmas music to highlight the contrast between the former peaceful “little town” in the carol and the current situation of its population under Israeli occupation. An annual Christmas event is staged as a protest, but promotes nonviolent resistance to occupying forces. Organizers provide an opportunity for the expression of shared feelings of belonging and loss among local Pal…
Performing Pannkotis Identity in Haiti
This chapter focuses on transnational networks of Pentecostal practice. It explores the use of “Pannkotis” to identify musical practice among a variety of Haitian churches, including some tied historically to Protestant and Pentecostal organizations in the United States. It also discusses the author’s roles as a Western ethnomusicologist and a Pentecostal believer, reflecting on the power shifts in transnational engagement that shared faith can e…
Más allá del nacionalismo: Trayectorias etnomusicológicas en Brasil
En muchas naciones periféricas, tales como Brasil, la investigación musical fue instigada por sentimientos nacionalistas, lo que generó tradiciones de investigación dirigidas a recoger etnografías folclóricas y descriptivas. Esto contrasta con los intereses de investigación en el eje angloamericano, donde las etnografías musicales se emplean para ilustrar perspectivas teóricas de validez universal. Sin embargo, muchas contribuciones impor tantes …

Using ethnography, history, and musical analysis, it explores Christian groups as sites of transmission, transformation, and creation of deeply diverse musical traditions. The book traces five…

Remembering the Baroque Era: Historical Consciousness, Local Identity and the Holy Week Celebrations in a Former Mining Town in Brazil
This article looks at how historical consciousness has been constructed and sustained through the Holy Week celebrations in Campanha, a small former gold mining town in southern Minas Gerais, Brazil. By drawing on ethnographic and archival material, it argues that ritual experiences play a critical role in shaping conceptions of the past. In Campanha, as in other former mining towns of the region, Holy Week is structured around a highly theatrica…

This introduction provides an overview of the development of musicological research in Brazil since the late nineteenth century as a means of situating the contributions in this issue in relation to ongoing debates within Brazilian intellectual circles.

Tom Jobim and the Bossa Nova Era
The Girl from Ipanema’ – or, in Portuguese, ‘Garota de Ipanema’ – is without doubt the song that turned bossa nova into a household term the world over. It was written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes one afternoon in 1962, as they sat in the Veloso bar – now renamed ‘Garota de Ipanema’ – on Montenegro Street, where they had watched the young Helô Pinheiro walk past them on her way to Ipanema Beach. The song was first recorded in 19…

Musical performance at a Brazilian festival
This paper looks at the diversity of musical styles performed during the festival of the Divine Holy Spirit in a small town in south‐eastern Brazil. The festival is the result of the concerted effort of the entire community, in which each sector of the population makes a contribution in both the material and symbolic domains. Here the musical repertoire of the festival has been analysed to show how it relates to the distribution of resources with…

Música sertaneja and migrant identity: The stylistic development of a Brazilian genre
Música sertaneja could be considered the Brazilian counterpart to American 'country' music. What defines the genre is not its rhythmic patterns, which vary considerably, but a performance style involving duplas (duos) singing in parallel thirds to the accompaniment of a guitar and a viola. Having developed out of southeastern traditional genres, it is the popular musical style that most appeals to migrants from these regions now living in the ind…

O canto da família: Organização vocal nas Folias de Reis do Sudeste brasileiro
This is an ethnomusicological analysis of the Folia de Reis in the Southeastern region of Brazil. The Folias are made up of a group of musicians that roam from house to house during the Christmas season, as a form of devotion to the three Wise Men. In an attempt to understanding the logic behind the distribution of the voices whithin the song style, I concentrated the analysis on the style the musicians call "old tune", for it is the most complex…
