Music, Scholarship, and Global Perspectives at Keene State College

Joe Darby, José Lezcano, Andrea Matthews, and Julian Gerstin, Keene State College

12 p.m. Friday, November 6; Alumni Recital Hall, Redfern Arts Center
Although globalization can expose us to aspects of cultures that were previously understood to be “distant” or “foreign,” the process can also overwhelm parts of indigenous cultures and push them into extinction. Drawing upon their work collecting, recording, and preserving folk music from southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, panelists offer insights into their interactions between local traditions and larger cultural movements.
