A Hundred Years of Yiddish Song Mobility
The article surveys continuities in the Yiddish song world from 1920–2020 despite the radical disjunctures of eastern European Ashkenazic Jewish life, profiling singers born nearly 100 years apart. The approach is synchronic, a useful method for music and mobility studies

Local Traffic
This chapter surveys the “neighborhood” music of Detroit’s many subcultures in a city based on massive migration for auto industry work: European immigrants (including Polish, Armenian, Greek, Croatian, and others); southern white immigrants, with a focus on country music; and African Americans from the South, bringing jazz, blues, church, and other community musical expressions. Details include the networks and institutions each community built …
Border Traffic
This chapter focuses on Detroit’s Jewish community, first taking up its complex, many-layered internal musical life, from religious to politically radical, across a range of initiatives and institutions. Next comes an analysis of how the group used music as a mode of outreach to mainstream Detroit, impacting the city’s cultural life, especially through intense engagement with classical music. The role of the Jews in the survival of the Detroit Sy…
Motor City Music
The book combines memoir, interview, and archival sources to survey the musical life of the author’s hometown, Detroit, in his youth during the city’s heyday, 1940s–1960s. After an opening chapter on the formation of personal musical identity, the focus shifts to the formative role of the public school system in educating and shaping the careers of waves of highly talented youth, many of whom became leading figures in African American and classic…

Improvising a Musical Metropolis
The author, born in Detroit in 1943, presents a survey of the musical life of that city, roughly in the time of his youth. Starting with personal grounding, the article lays out factual information about the training of musicians in the public schools and the musical life of subcultures, then concludes with a return to the individual's perspective through considering how music is available- physically, psychologically-to people in a metropolis

Russians Abroad
This book presents an array of perspectives on the vivid cultural and literary politics that marked the period immediately after the October Revolution of 1917, when Russian writers had to relocate to Berlin and Paris under harsh conditions. Divided amongst themselves and uncertain about the political and artistic directions of life in the diaspora, these writers carried on two simultaneous literary dialogues—one with the emerging Soviet Union, a…
Folk music
When we think of folk music, most of us picture Pete Seeger singing "This Land is My Land" or Joan Baez singing "Barbara Allen." But this stimulating Very Short Introduction throws open the doors on a remarkably diverse musical genre, in a wide-ranging portrait that goes far beyond America's shores to discuss folk music of every possible kind and in every corner of the globe. Written by award-winning musicologist Mark Slobin, this is the first co…
Close-up
‘Close-ups: songs, strums, and ceremonies’ uses examples to summarize folk music's structure, style and meaning. Both the Afghan falak and Yiddish song of longing both use four line stanzas to tell tales of displacement and lost love. Both these songs have local elements but resonate universally. The British ballad was used to tell many tales, some heroic, some vulgar. These ballads were collected by Victorian scholars. Many variants of one balla…

Central Asian Film Music as a Subcultural System
The article positions the film music of the five Central Asian countries-former Soviet republics-in global cinema. It then outlines and illustrates the film music strategies open to local directors, drawing on selected films, mainly from the 1960s and 1990s. As always, I am grateful for Greta's informed reading. Notes 1. A boxed set of Central Asian films (Abikeyeva 2006) contains the films discussed in the present essay and facilitates a survey …
Musical Multiplicity
In 2000, I wrote an article for this journal in response to an ICTM colloquium held at Visby in 1999 about issues of musical "multiculturalism" (Slobin 2000). The idea was to test out our terminology in the light of social and musical changes. By 2006, things had changed when I co-hosted another ICTM colloquium, at Wesleyan University, on "emerging musical identities" from the transatlantic perspective, in Europe and North America. The present ar…

The Silk Road Wends its Way to Washington
In the summer of 2002, more Americans – 1.3 million – heard the music of Central Asia in just a few days than in the entire previous history of the United States. Some 370,000 of them picked up the extensive, well-documented guidebook to the 36 th annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival, which broke all attendance records. As they traipsed through the humid haze of the Washington Mall, staggering into the sun baked tents to see crafts and hear music…
American KlezmerIts Roots and Offshoots
Klezmer, the Yiddish word for a folk instrumental musician, has come to mean a person, a style, and a scene. This musical subculture came to the United States with the late-nineteenth-century Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Although it had declined in popularity by the middle of the twentieth century, this lively music is now enjoying recognition among music fans of all stripes. Today, klezmer flourishes in the United States and abroad in …

A Muslim Shaman of Afghan Turkestan
During field work in 1968 in the town of K in northern Afghanistan (cf. Centlivres 1971) the authors attended a therapeutic seance performed by a baxsi2 or shaman with the aid of a qobuz or horsehair fiddle. Both the baxsi as a healer and his qobuz have long been observed among the Kazakh and Kirghiz, but their presence in Afghanistan was, to the best of our knowledge, first reported by Slobin (1969). This paper will therefore deal primarily with…

From Vilna to Vaudeville
Recently the Yiddish theatre has been the object of considerable study, translation and revival; yet the world of Yiddish vaudeville remains virtually untouched. This is odd, considering that what we would now call vaudeville skits and playlets were among the very first products of the Yiddish stage (1870s), while similar material is still being presented to Yiddish-speaking audiences today. It is almost a truism to state that the rise of the Jew…
Conversations in Tashkent
My wife and I made two trips to Tashkent (and other Central Asian cities) in January and November-December, 1968, both times from Afghanistan, where I was doing fieldwork on the music of the Central Asian peoples of the Afghan North. The first tour served as a reconnaissance so as to test the atmosphere for visiting Western scholars; we scheduled our second, extensive visit after receiving an extremely cordial initial welcome. My interest in thes…

On the Regional Styles of Uzbek Music
The roots of Uzbek musical art reach back into deep antiquity. As early as the sixth to fourth centuries B.C. Herodotus wrote about the abundance of songs and dances among the tribes living on the territory of present-day Uzbekistan and about the role of music in the life of those ancient inhabitants of Central Asia. This is confirmed by archaeological finds in the territory of Uzbekistan, including monuments of material culture and works of art

Puppetry is not among the more common art forms of the Near East and Central Asia today. Aside from the Turkish Karag6z shadow play and its relatives in the Arab world (Ritter 1924; Landau 1948), we have only the scanty evidence on hand-puppet theaters in Uzbekistan (Troitskaia 1948) to indicate the rather weak distribution of puppetry in the region in the recent past. Evidence for any form of puppets in Afghanistan is extremely sparse, though th…
