Auf dem Weg zur Weltmusik : Appropriation, Expropriation und Transkulturalität
Dieser Beitrag wendet das Prinzip der Fusion auf eine „Musikrichtung“ an, die Verschmelzung zum Programm macht und per se als Hybrid angelegt ist: World Music oder Weltmusik.
There are few areas where the term
“fusion” is better applied than in the
domain of music. It often happens
that two musically heterogenous
styles will fuse and melt together in a
hybrid mixture, creating something
completely new and independent
of the constituent parts. This article
examines the historical development
of World Music by looking at
African examples of such cases. The
text proposes an analysis that neither
romanticizes the appropriation
of music from former colonies and
ethnic groups; nor does it make any
accusations regarding its expropriation.
World Music 2.0 is ultimately
identified as an a priori hybrid performance
of music.
