Genre is a term that musicians can argue about endlessly, but the editors of the EPMOW have taken a broad view, situating genre in social contexts as well as scrutinizing musical features. The advantages of doing so are seen in this exciting and far-reaching collection of scholarly articles. This eleventh volume not only explores a huge variety of European musical types and styles, but also examines music associated with social spaces, ethnic identities, and cultural institutions. Anyone wanting to compare Heavy Metal in Finland with Heavy Metal in Italy, or Hip-Hop in Poland with Hip-Hop in Sweden, or who simply seeks an explanation of Schuhplatter or Tallava, now has an indispensable reference guide. Warmly recommended.
