Traditional Sicilian culture, from its language to cooking, from its working techniques to ritual celebrations, is the result of a stratification of elements attributable to each of the diverse ethnic stocks which in turn dominated this great island, located in the centre of the Mediterranean. Phoenicians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Islamic Berbers, Normans, Swabians, French.Sergio Bonanzinga

This chapter deals with the role and function of song in relation to individ-ual and communal well-being in small Gaelic-speaking island communities, and the re-presentation of this legacy of song that has come down to recent times. By way of grounding, it introduces the island song heritage and out-lines the role of culture and song and the cultural transmission process within.Ray Burnett & Kathryn A. Burnett
Caribbean society was forged in a colonial context of brutal encounters between various European powers, the indigenous peoples of the region, and the Africans who were kidnapped, shipped across the Atlantic, and enslaved on plantations in the New World. Later arrivals were the East Indians, Chi-nese, and Portuguese who came as indentured servants and a Jewish, Syrian.English Caribbean
Islands are worthwhile subjects for postcolonial study, and yet cultural imperialism has had different impacts in island settings where there was no indigenous population. Postcolonialism has affected territories that are not postcolonial in that they remain, often voluntarily, in a formal, but also problematic and deeply ambiguous, dependent relationship with an overseas.French Caribbean
Thinking what I might write in this epilogue as I drive home one night, I switched on the radio to be confronted by somewhat unusual music. It turned out to be the Icelandic “folk” singer, Ólöf Arnalds, playing music on a churango, a lute-like instrument from the Bolivian Andes, traditionally made with the shell of an armadillo. I later found a review of her 2010 CD Innundir Skinni. [REVIEW]John Connell

Chiloé island, located in Chile, between 41 and 43 degrees south and 73 degrees west, is the second largest island on the Pacific coast of South America (after the sparsely inhabited Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of the continent). Census figures from 2002 identified the population of the island and its smaller outliers as close to 155,000, representing approximately. [REVIEW]Waldo Garrido & Philip Hayward
Crete, a Mediterranean island, serves as a connecting link between the so-called East and West. As a crossroads amongst three continents—Europe, Africa, and Asia—Crete has also embraced many influences (such as Arab, Venetian, and Turkish). Its forms of musical expression have been interpreted historically and connected to the fight, the resistance, and the numerous re. [REVIEW]Maria Hnaraki
This chapter discusses the i taukei (indigenous Fijians of Melanesian and/or Polynesian descent) song genre known as sigidrigi, with a view to assessing and providing suggestions regarding its sustainability. At present the popular-ity of this genre is declining. The chapter also examines some of the reasons for this decline, and in doing so generates an insight into some of the cultural.

Small island cultures often provide geographical contexts that can nurture the development of unique song styles, repertoires, and performance settings. The relative isolation of many such islands, along with their defining geo-graphic, political, social, and cultural characteristics, contributes to culture creation through song and offers islanders distinct ways of expressing indi.Henry Johnson

Krišjānis Barons (1835–1923) is Latvia's great folk song collector and pub-lisher. His last home, in a street in Riga that today bears his name, accom-modates a museum of his life's work, a reliquary of sorts over a national saint. In one of the rooms there is a large, brown cabinet, built in 1880 after Barons' own design. The cabinet contains three large and seventy smaller drawers. [REVIEW]Owe Ronström
Islands are often idealized as places of the past. Cape Breton is idealized as a Canadian island where Scotland's Gaelic history continues to exist in the present. Anthropologist Jonathan Dembling has documented how certain in-fluential Scottish musicians turned to Cape Breton in the 1980s to teach Scots an “authentic”(older) form of fiddling and piping (2005). Nova Scotia piping. [REVIEW]Heather Sparling
In2009, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) launched its first ever Great Canadian Song Quest. The purpose of the contest: to immortal-ize Canadian places through song (http://www. cbc. ca/radio2/songquest/). The campaign called on members of the Canadian public to nominate great places representative of the country's regions, choose a favorite, and vote. [REVIEW]Deatra Walsh
