beleganjur to Bollywood and belly dance, the second edition of World Music: Traditions and Transformations
takes students on an exciting global journey of musical and cultural
discovery, exploration, and experience. Through clearly focused case
studies of diverse musicultural traditions, Michael Bakan illustrates
the transformative life of world musics from traditional folk, ritual,
and classical genres to contemporary popular and art musics, jazz, and
world beat. Integral connections between particular musics and their
historical, cultural, and international contexts are consistently
emphasized. The text also includes a globally inclusive introduction to
core elements of music and culture that makes its unique and friendly
approach accessible to music majors and non-majors alike.
