Description

Exploring the intersection of translation and music can reveal new insights into the nature of cultural expression. This collection of essays examines the complex relationships between translation, adaptation, and reframing in various musical genres and languages.

The volume delves into topics such as the translation of lyrics, the reception of Anglo-American stage musicals in Italy and Spain, and the emergence of rock'n roll in Russian. It also investigates code-switching in North African rap and rai, and the appropriation of Kurdish folk songs in Turkish.

By shedding light on these often-overlooked areas, this special issue aims to enrich our understanding of translation as a multifaceted process that intersects with other forms of expression.
