Description: Tambu by Nanette de Jong Explores popular religious music and dance from the Caribbean FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description As contemporary Tambu music and dance evolved on the Caribbean island of Curacao, it intertwined sacred and secular, private and public cultural practices, and many traditions from Africa and the New World. As she explores the formal contours of Tambu, Nanette de Jong discovers its variegated history and uncovers its multiple and even contradictory origins. De Jong recounts the personal stories and experiences of Afro-Curacaoans as they perform Tambu-some who complain of its violence and low-class attraction and others who champion Tambu as a powerful tool of collective memory as well as a way to imagine the future. Notes Explores popular religious music and dance from the Caribbean Author Biography Nanette de Jong is Senior Lecturer at the International Centre for Music Studies, Newcastle University.

Donald Hill, SUNY--Oneonta "Examines the practice of Tambu that is associated with the syncretic religious tradition of Montamentu using memory as a framing device for understanding the African-derived cultural values, musical expressions, and socio-politically resistant behaviours against dominant European-based ideals of acceptability."
