Description: Studies in Maltese Popular Music, Paperback by Ciantar, Philip, ISBN 0367648520, ISBN-13 9780367648527, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book examines the diverse facets of popular music in Malta, paying special attention to ghana (Malta’s folk song), the wind band tradition, and modern popular music. Ciantar provides intriguing discussions and examples of how popular music on this small Mediterranean island country interacts with other aspects of the island’s life and culture such as language, religion, history, customs, and politics. Through a series of ethnographic vignettes, th explores the music as it takes place in bars, at festivals, and during village celebrations, and considers how it is talked about in the local press, at group gatherings, and on social media. The ethnography adopted here is that of a native musician and ethnomusicologist and therefore marries the author’s memories with ongoing observations and their evaluation.
