... the book would be especially helpful to those teaching or taking graduate-level ethnomusicology courses, as it provides a broad view of ethnomusicological research. Notes 'This book will be a good help for anthropologists interested in ethnomusicology and for social scientists whose areas of interest are connected to music. Moreover, each chapter includes a good number of references to the musical recordings of the mentioned artists, as if inviting readers to listen and sonically experience the music that they read about.'
