Description
Explore the global impact of one of the most evocative instruments in the world with Guitar Cultures by Bloomsbury. This book examines how the guitar serves as a starting point for understanding social interaction and cultural identity across the globe. From the heavy metal and blues stages of the West to the Indian classical music traditions and village music making in Papua New Guinea, the guitar connects diverse musical landscapes. Discover how this instrument plays a role in everything from Brazilian carnival to indie and flamenco styles. The text explores how guitar music can be sexy, soothing, melancholy, or manic, yet consistently brings people together. It provides a deep look at how music creates common ground, even when that ground is a site of intense social, cultural, economic, and political negotiation. This is an essential read for anyone interested in the relationship between music styles and the societies that create them.
