  • Violín: Mediating Musical Style and Devotional Practice in 21st-Century Cuba

    Open AccessRobin Moore, Robin D MooreBOOKViolín2025

    Afrodescendant religious music in the Caribbean and Latin America typically foregrounds drumming and centuries-old songs of praise to spirit deities. In recent years, a new form of worship, known as a violín or toque de violín, which features the violin alongside the guitar, electronic piano, and/or other instruments commonly associated with popular music, has gained popularity in Cuba. Violines can be understood as loosely defined spaces for per…

  • Violines a Ochún and Musical Devotion for the Orishas

    Robin MooreARTICLEAmerican Music2023

    Afrodescendant religious music from the Caribbean typically foregrounds drumming and centuries-old songs of praise sung in fragmented African languages. However, an alternate form of worship in Cuba has gained popularity in recent decades known as a violín or toque de violín (violin performance) that foregrounds the violin along with the guitar, percussion, and/or other instruments. Violines involve praise of specific deities associated with Yoru…

  • Mobilising knowledge for urban governance: The case of the Gauteng City-region observatory

    Carla-Leanne Washbourne, Christina Culwick Fatti et al.ARTICLEUrban Research & Practice2021

    The capacity to derive, analyse and communicate urban knowledge is increasingly essential for decision-makers managing the complex pressures of rapidly expanding cities.

  • Ethnomusicology and Higher Education: Challenges, Trends, and Lessons from the Humanities

    Robin Moore, Luis Ricardo Silva Queiroz et al.ARTICLEEthnomusicology2021Cited by: 1References: 12

    Many authors in recent years note threats to humanistic studies within higher education. They express concern about the overproduction of PhD graduates, the increasing costs of higher education, and other topics. Ethnomusicologists are undoubtedly aware of such issues, yet as a society SEM has not engaged with related publications, nor has it collected much data on specific challenges to our own field. This essay synthesizes literature on trends …

  • A national research agenda supporting green schoolyard development and equitable access to nature

    Open AccessKathryn T Stevenson, Robin Moore et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2020

    The diverse benefits of nature are increasingly well-known, but access to nature and its associated benefits are inequitable. In parallel, because school attendance is compulsory, schools are ubiquitous in every community. However, only a small fraction extend classroom settings into outdoor spaces developed as educational resources richly endowed with nature. By greening schoolyards, every community in the United States would provide safe, acces…

  • The Danzón, North American Racial Discourses, and Reflections on Early Jazz

    Robin Moore, Robin D MooreARTICLEJournal of Latin American…2016Cited by: 1References: 17

    This essay proposes a way of understanding the formation of jazz as part of a broader transnational exchange of culture. It argues that the processes by which jazz came into being closely resemble others taking place in Cuba and elsewhere, and thus calls for analysis that positions jazz as part of a hemispheric exchange of cultural influences that extend beyond the United States. Second, it reviews and critiques existing scholarship on New Orlean…

    Over the last few years intensive community programmes for both young and adult offenders have become established in the UK as an important new component of penal policy − the ISSP (Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme) for persistent and serious young offenders, and the ICCP (Intensive Control and Change Programme) for adult offenders. Expectations of these programmes have been high, but the evidence relating to their effectiveness i…

  • Danzón: Circum-Carribean Dialogues in Music and Dance

    Alejandro L Madrid, Robin Dale Moore et al.BOOKDanzn Circumcaribbean Dialogues…2013

    This book studies the emergence, hemisphere-wide influence, historical, and contemporary significance of the danzón. Influenced initially by the European contradance tradition, elaborated as a distinct music and dance form by black performers in nineteenth-century Cuba, and popularized thereafter throughout the Americas, the danzón is a fascinating genre that ties together the entire Atlantic region. It is fundamentally hybrid, reflecting the fus…

  • Revolución con Pachanga? Dance Music in Socialist Cuba

    Robin MooreARTICLECanadian Journal of Latin…2001References: 1

    This article explores the social history and role of dance music in Cuba, before and after the Revolution. While most socialist policy makers viewed party music as escapist, a form of “ideological diversionism” and false consciousness, they also recognized that Cubans loved dance bands and that restrictive policies could potentially foster a negative or puritanical image of the new state. Analysis suggests that tepid official support for this rep…
