Reseña del libro "Melanesian Mainstream: Stringband Music and Identity in Vanuatu (Pacific Perspectives: Studies of the European Society for Oceanists, 11)"
Citizens of Vanuatu (ni-Vanuatu) perceive stringband music as a marker of national identity, an indicator of their cultural, stylistic, and musical heritage. Through extensive field and ethnographic research, Melanesian Mainstream offers a detailed historical record of the roots, context, evolution, and impact of stringband music. Beyond chronicling the genre's history and cultural significance, this thorough monograph positions the genre's musical hybridity, communal lyrics, and unique organizational structures as key factors in the anthropological understanding of ni-Vanuatu socio-cultural history.
