  • Music: the Case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY
    from Popular Music 1, CambridgeUniversity Press 1981 Cross -cultural perspectives in popular music: the case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY The problem of definition It is inevitable that the first issue of this yearbook will raise questions about the use of the term 'popular music'. I do not believe that this question is going to be easy to answer and, as a precaution, I think we should regard quick and seemingly clearcut solutions with suspicion. In fact, we may eventually have to operate with intuitive, poorly defined and rather elastic definitions of popular music. Before we resort to that expedient, however, the problem of definition must be considered and discussed from various points of view. The editors have offered the following two definitions (the number- ing is mine): (1)From one point of view 'popular music' exists in any stratified society. It is seen as the music of the mass of the people ... as against that of an élite. (2) From another point of view there is at the very least a significant qualita- tive change, both in the meaning which is felt to attach to the term and in the processes to which the music owes its life, when a society undergoes indus- trialisation. From this point of view popular music is typical of societies with a relatively highly developed division of labour and a clear distinction between producers and consumers, in which cultural products are created largely by professionals, sold in a mass market and reproduced through mass media. (P. i above) The first of these definitions is very general, the second very specific.

  • Afghan Music in Australia John Baily*
    BAILY, John (2010), “Afgan music in Australia”, in CÔRTE-REAL, Maria de São José (ed.), Migrações Journal - Special Issue Music and Migration, October 2010, no. 7, Lisbon: ACIDI, pp. 157-176 Afghan music in Australia John Baily* Abstract Based on research carried out in Melbourne and Sydney in 2009, this paper discusses Afghan migration to Australia, the emergen- ce of the multicultural society, the civic promotion of the Afghan Bazaar Precinct in Dandenong (Melbourne), the genres of Afghan music performed in Australia, with brief biographies of some of the musicians, and a survey of CDs produced in Australia. The pa- per concludes that the Afghan-Australian community (less than 25,000 overall) is too small to support a fully-fledged Afghan mu- sic profession. The result is a vigorous amateur music scene cate- ring for a community of music lovers. The work of three contem- porary Australian composers influenced by Afghan music is also discussed, to show how the culture of this immigrant community has enriched Australian culture. Keywords Afghanistan, Australia, multiculturalism, recordings, professiona- lism, keyboards. * Emeritus Professor of Ethnomusicology, Head of the Afghanistan Music Unit, Department of Music, Goldsmiths, University of London ([email protected]) Migrações _ #7 _ October 2010 157 Afghan music in Australia John Baily Introduction My research on the music of Afghanistan began in the 1970s, with two years of eth- nomusicological fieldwork, most of it in the provincial city of Herat, and to a lesser extent the capital, Kabul. My research in Herat was wide-ranging, looking into the performance of various genres: urban and rural; folk, popular and art; vocal and ins- trumental; traditional and modern; professional and amateur; female and male; and also at various forms of religious singing that did not fall clearly into the category of music, such as Sufi zikr, Shiah lamentations and Quranic recitation.

  • Folksongs of the Turkic World
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, November 2016, Vol. 6, No. 11, 1343-1370 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.11.008 D DAVID PUBLISHING Folksongs of the Turkic World János Sipos Institute for Musicology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary The long-term goal of my research has been to systematize and compare by musical criteria the folk songs of Turkic groups and ethnicities living around them. Here I rarely touch on instrumental folk music, the repertoire of professional or semi-professional performers, the most recent strata, seldom or just occasionally discuss art music and the cultural, social and anthropological implications of music are only sporadically considered, too. There are close connections between the languages of Turkic groups but their musical stocks are fundamentally different. Actually, that is not surprising, because these people are, at least in part, Turkified, and through their substrata (that is people absorbed by them) they are in genetic and cultural relations with several non-Turkic peoples. My research therefore has repercussions; apart from the Turkic-speaking peoples tied by culture, language and history, upon their neighbors and partly absorbed other peoples, creating the foundation for an even broader future comparative ethnomusicological research of Eurasian groups. This paper is aimed to provide a very short summary about the findings of my field researches into the folk music of different Turkic-speaking people between 1987 and 2015. I introduce the sources, the collecting work and the methods of processing and analyzing the songs. I also give an analytical introduction to the folksong of Anatolian Turks, Azeris, Turkmens, Uzbeks (and Tajiks), Karachay-Balkars, Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, a Sufi Turkish community in Thrace and the area of the Volga-Kama-Belaya region.

  • Amil ASKEROV YALLI DANCES in NAKHCHIVAN MUSICAL CULTURE
    MUSİQİ DÜNYASI ____________________________________________________3 (76), 2018 Amil ASKEROV YALLI DANCES IN NAKHCHIVAN MUSICAL CULTURE Abstract The article is devoted to the Nakhchivan yallis, which have a special place and role in the musical culture of Azerbaijan. Based on the notes of Nakhchivan Yallis and the researches carried out, classification of yalli dances was conducted, and the area of spread was determined. The writing of the Yalli names has been revealed in connection with the terrain, man, tribal names, mythological outlook,and actions. The musical instruments used in accompaniment of yalli dances have been characterized. Comparative analysis of yallis in the Azerbaijan – Turkey area has been put forward as an important issue. Key words: Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan, yalli, genre, range, performance, note, classification, research. The Azerbaijani folk yallis, one of the oldest collective plays in the world, are a rare example of creativity that combines choreography, instrumental and vocal music. Yallı dances are one of the oldest folk dances in terms of genre, performance, and expression. For centuries, Nakhchivan has been known as the "homeland of yallis", "the land of yallis" among Caucasians, both Near and Middle East and Europe. Yalli is an ancient cultural monument of Nakhchivan's traditional musical heritage. The history of Yalli dance in Nakhchivan begins with the Bronze Age B. C.Yalli dances are described in the Gamigaya archaeological monument in Nakhchivan. Yally is a collective dance. This dance expresses the history of ancient Nakhchivan, the people's unity, labor, love for the motherland, heroism, freedom in music and dance. Great leader Heydar Aliyev called this dance "Nakhchivan's crown".

  • Growing Into Music in Mali: Perspectives on Informal Learning
    Growing into music in Mali: perspectives on informal learning from West Africa By Lucy Durán, SOAS, University of London Chapter in Economidou, Natassa, and Stakelum, Mary (eds). European Perspectives on Music Education vol. 4: every learner counts. Innsbruck: Helbling Verlag (2015), pp. 49-64 Photo caption Adama Diarra (balafon, right) leads a rehearsal at home with his children and nephews including Waly Coulibaly (balafon, left), and Thierre Diarra (djembe, left). Photo: Lucy Duran, Bamako, March 2015 Abstract Despite the fact that Mali is famous for its musical traditions, some of which date back to the 13th century, very little research has been done on the passing down of musical knowledge from one generation to the next. Yet surely this is a key to understanding how these oral musics have survived into the 21st century with such vigour. In this chapter I reflect on how children within specialist Malian musical families (jelis, also known as as griots) acquire musical skills. The chapter draws on many years of research in the region, particularly between 2009 to 2012 when I engaged in a film-based project entitled ‘Growing into music – musical enculturation in oral traditions’. There is a small but growing ethnomusicological literature documenting aspects of childhood musicality in Africa (see Rice 2003, Campbell & Wiggins 2013), but almost nothing on Mali except for passing comments in Charry (2000). I am inspired by the idea of ‘enskilment’, a term from anthropology, first used by Gísli Pálsson in his study of apprenticeship in Icelandic fishing (Pálsson 1994), and since taken up by others including Tim Ingold (2000) and Trevor Marchand (2010, 2015) writing about the acquisition of artisanal skills.
