Syllabus
Lectures by internationally recognized ethnomusicologists will be held in the mornings. During these lectures, students will acquire a basic overview of regions where Roma have contributed to the creation of distinctive musical cultures/musics. Lectures offered on Jewish music will give students a general overview of Jewish musical traditions around the globe. The second purpose of the course is to introduce topics connected especially (though not exclusively) with the study of music(s) of underprivileged groups: questions of attribution, negotiation between musicians and audience, stereotyping, musical representation, cultural sensitivity.
In the afternoons, students will take part in workshops with Khamoro participants.
In the evenings, students will attend festival concerts.
