Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World: Rituals and Remembrances

About This Research

Co-authored by Mamadou Diouf and Ifeoma Kiddoe Nwankwo, Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World: Rituals and Remembrances is a collection of essays that connects nations across the Atlantic. The text includes a discussion of how contemporary popular, folkloric, and religious music and dance can be seen as evidence of the “ironically productive potential of this age of consumerist globalization, especially for Afro-Atlantic artists and communities.”

The text also talks about the way in which Afro-Atlantic music and dance have been commodified by this current financially driven time period.
