In this episode we talk with Juan Diego Diaz (Meneses) regarding his article “Listening with the Body: an Aesthetics of Spirit Possession Outside the Terreiro.” In his investigation of the aesthetics of spiritual possession, Juan Diego compares the ritualistic practices of Candomblé and the musical performances of Orkestra Rumpilezz to highlight the similarities and differences between spiritual possessions in the context of Afro-Bahian music.
In this episode we talk with Allen Roda, whose article “Ecology of the Global Tabla Industry” was recently published in the journal, Ethnomusicology.
