Yoruba Bata Goes Global: Artists, Culture Brokers, and Fans Book
Responding to growing international interest in the Yorùbá culture of southwestern Nigeria, practitioners of bà táâ??a centuries-old drumming, dancing, and singing traditionâ??have recast themselves as traditional performers in a global market. As the Nigerian market for ritual bà tá has been declining, international opportunities for performance have grown. Debra L. Kleinâ??s lively ethnography explores this disjunction, revealing the world of bà tá artists and the global culture market that helps to sustain their art.Yorùbá Bà tá Goes Global describes the dramatic changes and reinventions of traditional bà tá performance in recent years, showing how they are continually recreated, performed, and sold. Klein delves into the lives of Yorùbá musicians, focusing on their strategic collaborations with artists, culture brokers, researchers, and entrepreneurs worldwide. And she explores how reinvigorated performing ensembles are beginning to parlay success on the world stage into increased power and status within Nigeria. Kleinâ??s study of the interwoven roles of innovation and tradition will interest scholars of African, global, and cultural studies, anthropology, and ethnomusicology alike. (20070522)Read More
