Introduction to the special issue
Popular music constructs, negotiates, and circulates representations of the past, thereby conveying historical knowledge and contributing to our understanding of the past. In short, popular music writes and rewrites history. Building on the notion that history constitutes an interpretation of past events strung together via narrative, the issue examines the critical role of popular music in constructing and negotiating historical narratives. By a…
Back in the new 1970s
The Marcos dictatorship (1972–1986), characterized by severe human rights abuses, endemic debt, and rising poverty, is currently subject to historical revisionism. Attempts to literally rewrite history and portray the dictatorship as the ‘golden age’ of the Philippines are intricately linked to the return of the Marcos family to national politics. Revisionism capitalizes on a prevailing sentiment of authoritarian nostalgia, a longing for the perc…
AllRoadsLeadtoRoute196
The Philippines underwent one of the world’s strictest lockdowns to curb the spread of COVID-19, forcing Manila’s iconic music venue Route 196 to shut down permanently. This article inquires into the individual and collective memory-making processes in the context of Route 196’s online farewell show. Drawing on participant observation and an analysis of the show’s social media content, we examine remembering Route 196 focusing on two key processe…
Ein musikalisches Denkmal gegen das Vergessen
With his Requiem for Auschwitz, Roger Moreno Rathgeb has crafted a "musical memorial" for the victims of National Socialism. By bringing together approaches and concepts from musicology (especially ethnomusicology), media and memory studies, this article investigates three central aspects of the multimedia memorial comprised of "music, film, images and words" (Rathgeb 2019). The article first analyses the circulation and transfer of memory, traci…

A Living Memorial for the Edelweißpiraten”
This article explores music as a medium of memory of anti-Nazi resistance looking at the Edelweißpiratenfestival, its connected events and multimedia publications. It explores how the festival provides platforms for the transgenerational transmission of memory, secures the continuing presence of the Edelweißpiraten's voices, and represents their ideals and spirit. It considers music’s roles as object and agent of memory, probes how music’s experi…

Putting a premium on music
The twenty-first century has seen a revival of the vinyl record in many parts of the world. Based on ethnographic research, I investigate its so-far unexplored resurgence in Metro Manila, the capital region of the Philippines, contending that vinyl is charged with social meanings and that revivals reimagine the past for the present. I examine vinyl's manifold social meanings and the reasons for its newfound popularity through a multidimensional e…
Independent Music and Digital Technology in the Philippines
Since the turn of the century, the impact of digital technologies on the promotion, production and distribution of music in the Philippines has both enabled and necessitated an increase in independent musical practices. In the first in-depth investigation into the independent music scene in the Philippines, Monika E. Schoop exposes and portrays the as yet unexplored restructurings of the Philippine music industries, showing that digital technolog…
