Barocke Musik ¿ geistliche wie weltliche ¿ wurde im Zuge der Kolonialisierung von Europäern nach Südamerika gebracht und verbreitete sich dort in verschiedenen Kontexten. Die vorliegende Studie beschreibt die musikalische Praxis bolivianischer Chöre und Orchester. Der Autor stellt die Herangehensweisen und Konzepte vor, mitdenen Instrumentalist*innen und Vokalist*innen Kompositionen der Kolonialzeit aus den Archiven ihres Landes interpretieren. Dabei spielen neben musikimmanenten Betrachtungen auch soziokulturelle Hintergründe eine Rolle. Mit der Beschreibung musikalischer Proben von verschiedenen Ensembles im städtischen wie im ländlichen Raum, ergänzt durch Interviews und Gespräche mit Musikerinnen und Musikern, legt der Autor eine vielschichtige und durch Prozesse kulturellen Austauschs geprägte Praxis offen. Dabei bezieht er Aspekte der postkolonialen Diskurse führender Autorinnen und Autoren ein.

They say nothing good happens after midnight, but in the case of creativity, that's just not so. The night fosters a different kind of creativity: something urgent, spontaneous, carved out of necessity. Tracking the past, present and future of this complex, often contradictory dynamic. Selling The Night explores what happens when this creativity influences wider culture and converges with everything from media, advertising, design and to gaming, fashion, hospitality, alcohol, beauty, tourism and far beyond. Also, as importantly, the implications of brands taking space within dance music as sponsors and supporters. Selling The Night speaks to DJs, promoters, marketers, academics, activists, archivists, policy makers, photographers, writers and designers. It samples KFC through to Fiorucci, Absolut and Red Bull, and moves from New York disco to the modern global underground. It witnesses how ideas migrate from subculture to influence the creative industries. It goes in search of lessons in improving the value exchange between dance music and brands, seeking something more symbiotic and less parasitic. All the while, it celebrates what makes after-dark ideas so special - the unique and democratising role they play.

Whether it's roasting pop royalty like Adele ('she's like Cilla Black on steroids'), Prince Harry ('a f***ing mad little kid'), their old mate Gary Neville ('he's a slaphead who couldn't defend a packet of crisps'), or anyone else who dared cross the Gallagher firing line, this book captures the brothers at their sharpest - taking no prisoners and offering zero apologies. It's part wit, part war, and 100% Oasis.With more insults than Liam's had parkas, this is the perfect gift for Oasis fans, insult enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the art of a perfectly delivered burn.

A prevailing narrative goes: Bob Dylan, the voice of Sixties counterculture, disappeared in the 1970s in a haze of substance abuse, made arguably the worst music of his career, and was finally put to bed in the 1980s-only to be resurrected in 2016, when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Dylan's concerts once began with an announcer intoning a deadpan version of just such a narrative. That is not this story.Drawing on thousands of pages of archival materials, After the Flood reveals Dylan's output during the last three decades as his most ambitious yet. Across an abecedarium of chapters surveying his albums, performances, films, and books since the early 1990s, celebrated poet Robert Polito shows how Dylan evolved a late musical style that has embodied and resisted its era-interweaving Ovid and Americana, film noir and the Civil War. Imaginatively researched, After the Flood is both an essential revision and continuation of the Dylan saga.

In the south-east of Indonesia, on the Moluccas, theologians are developing contextual theologies for the Moluccan Protestant church. The Moluccas were colonized by the Dutch for more than three centuries. In order to counter colonial influences, Moluccan theologians aim to better connect Christianity with the cultural and religious realities of congregants. Christian Izaac Tamaela proposed and instigated the transposition of Moluccan traditional music to the Moluccan Protestant church. This book is about the contextualization of church music. The book asks how traditional music as framed within contextual Moluccan theology is interrelated with lived religion. Vivid descriptions of liturgical practices, music traditions and personal encounters map the entanglements between Moluccan culture, Moluccan Christianity and Moluccan music. The author traces the theological idea of traditional church music to lived religious practices and attitudes among ministers, musicians and congregants. The resonances and dissonances of this process transform Moluccan traditional music. For a selection of the audio-visual material, visit the website www.jiplensink.nl/tt
