Music of the Global South

Catalog description

This course centers around Indigenous muscial traditions of the Global South (non-Western cultures), many of which have evolved and flourished without the use of written notation (sheet music). What might it mean to let go of Western understandings of musical structure as we interpret and experience the music of the Global South? Through listening, embodying, and performing, we will delve into music-making processes that celebrate Indigenous voices, instruments, and musical practices.
