Produktbeschreibung
Made in Nusantara serves as a comprehensive introduction to the history, sociology, ethnography, and musicology of historical and contemporary popular music in maritime Southeast Asia.

Each essay covers major figures, styles, and social contexts of genres of a popular nature in the Nusantara region including Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, and the Philippines. Through a critical investigation of specific genres and their spaces of performance, production, and consumption, the volume is organised into four thematic areas: 1) issues in Nusantara popular music; 2) history; 3) artists and genres; and 4) national vs. local industries.

Written by scholars working in the region, Made in Nusantara brings local perspectives to the history and analysis of popular music and critically considers conceptualisations developed in the West, rendering it an intriguing read for students and scholars of popular and global music.

Rezensionen
"Made in Nusantara: Studies in Popular Music is an essential contribution to the field of popular music studies in the region and globally. Conceptually, the volume provides a fresh take on Nusantara supported by examples in the respective essays, and establishes a new praxis in the study of popular music in maritime Southeast Asia. With resources such as a spread of pictures featuring artists and album sleeves, a collection of selected bibliography, and an extensive index, both scholars and students in popular music and across the interdisciplinary studies of social sciences will not only find this volume insightful but also enjoyable to read."
