Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Cabo Verde ist ein Inselstaat vor der Westküste Afrikas. Der Archipel wurde erstmals im 15. Jahrhundert von Portugiesen besiedelt und entwickelte sich binnen weniger Jahre zu einem wichtigen Stützpunkt des transatlantischen Sklavenhandels. Erst 1975 erlangten es zusammen mit Guinea-Bissau ihre Unabhängigkeit von Portugal. Vor allem durch den Erfolg der Sängerin Cesária Évora wurde die Musik Cabo Verdes einem internationalen Publikum bekannt. In diesem Seminar werden wir uns mit verschiedenen Cabo Verdischen Genres näher beschäftigen wobei die Musikformen Morna, Koladeira, Batuku und Funaná besonders im Fokus stehen. Neben musikalischer und textlicher Analyse werden wir verstärkt auf die Geschichte und Kultur der Kapverden sowie der kapverdischen Diaspora eingehen. Hierbei stehen musikethnologische Fragestellungen im Zentrum, die an aktuelle Diskurse um Globalisierung, World Music, Postkolonialität und kulturelle Identitätsformation anknüpfen.Dieser Kurs wird darüber hinaus allen Teilnehmerinnen an der Exkursion nach Cabo Verde 2025 dringend empfohlen.
