Description
Secular Devotion: Afro-Latin Music and Imperial Jazz By Timothy Brennan Verso Books, 2008 The popular music of the Americas, from jazz to Latin salsa and disco, has its roots in African religious philosophy. Created during times of war and military invasion, these musical forms reflect a longing for earlier eras that pre-date the technological discipline of labor imposed by European occupiers. In this book, Timothy Brennan explores how Afro-Latin music is involved in a devotion to an African worldview that survived slavery and found its way into everyday listening. Brennan examines the challenge posed by Afro-Latin music to a world music system dominated by wealthy countries. He also investigates how Afro-Latin music has been absorbed into the imperial imagination, shedding light on the complex relationships between music, culture, and power.
