Ethnomusicology↗
Ethnomusicology is the study of music from a cultural and social perspective. It’s an interdisciplinary field that draws on anthropology, sociology, history, and musicology to understand the role that music plays in people’s lives and the ways in which it reflects and shapes cultural identities.
One of the main goals of ethnomusicology is to understand the music of different cultures and the ways in which it reflects their unique beliefs, values, and experiences. This involves studying the music itself, as well as the social, economic, and historical context in which it was created. Ethnomusicologists may also study the ways in which music is performed, such as the instruments used, the styles of singing or playing, and the rituals and ceremonies that accompany it.
