Summary:

Part of a project based at the Open University called Tuning In: Diasporic Contact Zones at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) World Service, was a July 2009 conference at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies where the 14 studies here were among the presentations. Musicologists, anthropologists, and all manner of meldings between look at ways in which music moves around the world. Migrants, translations, media, and cities are deemed the superhighways. Among the topics are authenticity, innovation, and prestige among young danseurs afros in Paris; migrating styles, musical meanings, and marginalized voices in hip-hop Tehran; the BBC's interactive music broadcasting to Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora; and Bombay Bronx, cultural producers, and the Asian scene.
