Publisher Description: The anthology Global Popular Music features readings that examine the commonalities and differences among different popular music traditions in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. The text explores the ways in which each tradition developed, evolved, eventually disseminated, and how they gained global reach. Musicologist, guitarist, and lutenist, Thomas Garcia earned his Ph.D. in performance practice from Duke University and his B.M. and M.M. in performance from the Juilliard School. He is an associate professor of ethnomusicology and Latin American studies at Miami University in Ohio, where he teaches courses on popular music and culture. His publications include articles on guitar history and Brazilian music in Luso-Brazilian Review, The Journal of Popular Culture, and Stagebill Magazine, among others, as well as numerous book chapters and encyclopedia articles. He is the co-author of Choro: a Social History of a Brazilian Popular Music. |
