Beschreibung
This book explores the profound influence of Hindustani music on the cultural identity of the Indo-Caribbean diaspora. Through meticulous historical research, personal interviews, and digital ethnography, it illuminates how music bridges ancestral heritage with contemporary realities. It examines how Indo-Caribbean communities use music to preserve cultural identity and navigate diasporic complexities. From Chutney rhythms to Baithak Gana melodies, it shows how these expressions resonate across generations, fostering belonging and resilience. The study also addresses music's therapeutic role in alleviating displacement and nostalgia and highlights Indo-Caribbean musicians' contributions to regional music and their role in community cohesion. Focusing on the younger generation and digital platforms, this book provides valuable insights into how music sustains cultural heritage and shapes diasporic identity. The book will be an indispensable resource for scholars in migration studies, diaspora studies, socio-cultural anthropology, and ethnomusicology.
