Kwaito's Promise: Music and the Aesthetics of Freedom in South Africa
by Gavin SteingoIn mid-1990s South Africa, apartheid ended, Nelson Mandela was elected president, and the country's urban black youth developed kwaito--a form of electronic music (redolent of North American house) that came to represent the post-struggle generation. In this book, Gavin Steingo examines kwaito as it has developed alongside the democratization of South Africa over the past two decades. Tracking the fall of South African hope into the disenchantment that often characterizes the outlook of its youth today--who face high unemployment, extreme inequality, and widespread crime--Steingo looks to kwaito as a powerful tool that paradoxically engages South Africa's crucial social and political problems by, in fact, seeming to ignore them. Politicians and cultural critics have long criticized kwaito for failing to provide any meaningful contribution to a society that desperately needs direction. As Steingo shows, however, these criticisms are built on problematic assumptions about the political function of music. Interacting with kwaito artists and fans, he shows that youth aren't escaping their social condition through kwaito but rather using it to expand their sensory realities and generate new possibilities. Resisting the truism that "music is always political," Steingo elucidates a music that thrives on its its radically ambiguous relationship with politics, power, and the state.
Kwaito Bodies: Remastering Space and Subjectivity in Post-Apartheid South Africa
by Xavier LivermonIn Kwaito Bodies Xavier Livermon examines the cultural politics of the youthful black body in South Africa through the performance, representation, and consumption of kwaito, a style of electronic dance music that emerged following the end of apartheid. Drawing on fieldwork in Johannesburg's nightclubs and analyses of musical performances and recordings, Livermon applies a black queer and black feminist studies framework to kwaito. He shows how kwaito culture operates as an alternative politics that challenges the dominant constructions of gender and sexuality. Artists such as Lebo Mathosa and Mandoza rescripted notions of acceptable femininity and masculinity, while groups like Boom Shaka enunciated an Afrodiasporic politics. In these ways, kwaito culture recontextualizes practices and notions of freedom within the social constraints that the legacies of colonialism, apartheid, and economic inequality place on young South Africans. At the same time, kwaito speaks to the ways in which these legacies reverberate between cosmopolitan Johannesburg and the diaspora. In foregrounding this dynamic, Livermon demonstrates that kwaito culture operates as a site for understanding the triumphs, challenges, and politics of post-apartheid South Africa.
Kusamira Music in Uganda: Spirit Mediumship and Ritual Healing
by Peter J. HoesingA performance culture of illness and wellness In southern Uganda, ritual healing traditions called kusamira and nswezi rely on music to treat sickness and maintain well-being. Peter J. Hoesing blends ethnomusicological fieldwork with analysis to examine how kusamira and nswezi performance socializes dynamic processes of illness, wellness, and health. People participate in these traditions for reasons that range from preserving ideas to generating strategies that allow them to navigate changing circumstances. Indeed, the performance of kusamira and nswezi reproduces ideas that remain relevant for succeeding generations. Hoesing shows the potential of this social reproduction of well-being to shape development in a region where over 80 percent of the population relies on traditional healers for primary health care. Comprehensive and vivid with eyewitness detail, Kusamira Music in Uganda offers insight into important healing traditions and the overlaps between expressive culture and healing practices, the human and other-than-human, and Uganda's past and future.

Krazy Kat, A Jazz Pantomime for Piano: Original and Revised Versions (Dover Music for Piano)
by George Herriman Dr Howard Pollack John Alden CarpenterThis is the first single-volume publication of both the out-of-print original and revised versions of KrazyKat, a unique "jazz pantomime" for piano. Based on George Herriman's hugely influential newspaper comic strip that chronicled the adventures of a lovelorn feline, this comic production represents a landmark in American music.

Jazz lovers, collectors of rare music, and intermediate- to advanced-level pianists will want a copy of this facsimile publication, which features the composer's original Program Notes and an illuminating Introduction.
Krautrock: German Music in the Seventies
by Ulrich AdeltKrautrock is a catch-all term for the music of various white German rock groups of the 1970s that blended influences of African American and Anglo-American music with the experimental and electronic music of European composers. Groups such as Can, Popol Vuh, Faust, and Tangerine Dream arose out of the German student movement of 1968 and connected leftist political activism with experimental rock music and, later, electronic sounds. Since the 1970s, American and British popular genres such as indie, post-rock, techno, and hip-hop have drawn heavily on krautrock, ironically reversing a flow of influence krautrock originally set out to disrupt. Among other topics, individual chapters of the book focus on the redefinition of German identity in the music of Kraftwerk, Can, and Neu!; on community and conflict in the music of Amon Düül, Faust, and Ton Steine Scherben; on "cosmic music" and New Age; and on Donna Summer's and David Bowie's connections to Germany. Rather than providing a purely musicological or historical account, Krautrock discusses the music as being constructed through performance and articulated through various forms of expressive culture, including communal living, spirituality, and sound.
Kraftwerk: from Dusseldorf to the Future With Love
by Tim BarrThe future of modern music began in Dusseldorf in 1970, when an avant-garde German band, the Organisation re-invented themselves as Kraftwerk and set in motion a train of events which introduced a whole new language into popular culture. By pre-dating electro, house, ambient and techno by more than two decades, they are quite simply the most influentual band of the late 20th century. Having studied composi-tional theory at the Dusseldorf Conservatory, they have more in common with Stockhausen and Russian Constructivism than Chuck Berry and Andy Warhol and yet, in creating classic pop hits like 'Autobahn', 'Trans Europe Express', 'The Model' and 'Tour de France' Kraftwork created a mass-market blueprint. The list of those directly and profoundly influenced is staggering: Bowie & Iggy Pop; Human League; disco (Giorgio Moroder`s seminal work with Donna Summer); Gary Numan: Sparks; Simple Minds; Orbital; Underworld; in fact, ALL modern Dance music. As well as telling the tale of this famously enigmatic and reclusive group, Tim Barr will also speak to the full range of musicians who have been touched by Kraftwerk`s extraordinary influence.

by Daniel Goldmark Kevin C. KarnesA brand-new look at the life and music of renowned composer Erich Wolfgang KorngoldErich Wolfgang Korngold (1897–1957) was the last compositional prodigy to emerge from the Austro-German tradition of Mozart and Mendelssohn.

Korn: Life in the Pit
by Leah FurmanIn the past eight-years, the face of popular culture has changed radically and with it, the music that will define the decade. Gone are the pop saturated songs of the 70's and 80's. Today's sound is a fusion of grunge, hip-hop, metal, hardcore and funk. Disparate sounds that together create something thoroughly modern and unlike anything we've heard before. No band embodies this musical melting pot more than Korn. With their frantic, no-holds-barred image and sound, Korn has jumped musical boundaries to be both Billboard chart toppers and a band with a loyal, obsessive following. --Their debut album, "Korn" went platinum and has sold millions--"Life is Peachy" debuted at number three on the Billboard charts--Korn's latest album, "Follow the Leader" has sold over two million copies and remained on the Billboard charts for over twenty-eight weeks. Elina Furman's in-depth look at the band's meager beginings to their breakthrough success with "Follow the Leader," their current multi-platinum album is a fan's ultimate guide.
The Korean Popular Culture Reader
by Youngmin Choe Kyung Hyun KimOver the past decade, Korean popular culture has become a global phenomenon. The "Korean Wave" of music, film, television, sports, and cuisine generates significant revenues and cultural pride in South Korea. The Korean Popular Culture Reader provides a timely and essential foundation for the study of "K-pop," relating the contemporary cultural landscape to its historical roots. The essays in this collection reveal the intimate connections of Korean popular culture, or hallyu, to the peninsula's colonial and postcolonial histories, to the nationalist projects of the military dictatorship, and to the neoliberalism of twenty-first-century South Korea. Combining translations of seminal essays by Korean scholars on topics ranging from sports to colonial-era serial fiction with new work by scholars based in fields including literary studies, film and media studies, ethnomusicology, and art history, this collection expertly navigates the social and political dynamics that have shaped Korean cultural production over the past century.Contributors.

Korean Musical Drama: P'ansori And The Making Of Tradition In Modernity (SOAS Studies in Music)
by Haekyung UmP’ansori is the quintessential traditional Korean musical drama, in which epic tales are sung and narrated by a solo singer accompanied by a drummer. Drawing on her extensive research in Korea and its diasporas, Haekyung Um describes and analyses the creative processes of p’ansori, weaving into her discussion musical, social and cultural aspects that include the evolution of p’ansori performance, origins and historical development, textual and musical materials, stylistic features of different p’ansori schools, transmission of knowledge, aesthetics, and changing interpretations of tradition. Also explored is the complexity of historical and contemporary influences that give shape to p’ansori as a ’living tradition’ across the ages and into the present, and as a cultural icon with an enduring narrative and emotional impact. Social, economic and political dynamics are created in the nexus of traditional feudal values, colonial modernity and nationalism. The impact of aspects of late modernity such as technology, mass media, migration and globalization, has transported p’ansori into digital and transnational domains. By bringing all these creative and contextual processes together, Haekyung Um explains how a tradition is created, maintained and redefined by the dynamic interactions of agents, values, meanings, strategies, identities and artistic hybridity.

König, Weiser, Liebhaber und Skeptiker: Rezeptionen Salomos (Studien zu Literatur und Religion / Studies on Literature and Religion #4)
by Elena Deinhammer Susanne Gillmayr-Bucher Antonia Krainer Imelda RohrbacherKaum eine andere biblische Figur wird so enthusiastisch geschildert wie König Salomo. Er ist unvergleichlich weise, erbaut den Tempel in Jerusalem, und er verhilft auch seinem Volk zu einem Leben in Frieden und Wohlstand. Dennoch scheitert Salomo und erfüllt die in ihn gesetzten Erwartungen letztendlich nicht. Dadurch entsteht ein ambivalentes Bild, das innerhalb des biblischen Kanons und in der späteren Rezeptionsgeschichte vielfältig ausgestaltet wird. Wie facettenreich die Figur Salomos vom 16. bis 21. Jahrhundert in Literatur und Musik entfaltet wird, zeigt dieser Band auf. Die Beiträge im ersten Teil bieten überblicksartige Querschnitten, die Salomo als König, Weisen, Skeptiker und Liebenden in den künstlerischen Bearbeitungen präsentieren. Die Studien im zweiten Teil zeigen am Beispiel ausgewählter Werke, welche Diskurse der jeweiligen Zeit in der Figur König Salomos gespiegelt werden.

Koltrasten som trodde att den var en ambulans
by Anders MildnerHur låter världen? Frågan kan tyckas märklig, det är väl bara att lyssna. Problemet är bara att vi aldrig varit särskilt duktiga på det, istället har vi i modern tid gjort precis allting för att slippa höra. Boken är en vindlande historia om spöken, militärens ljudvapen, koltrastar som tror att de är ambulanser, sjungande neandertalare, tyska filosofer, arkitektur, döva valar, klasskamp, den onde Kahn från Star Trek och laboratorieframställd popmusik. Med stor träffsäkerhet rör sig berättelsen mellan historia och populärkultur, mellan samhällsfenomen och den personliga reflektionen. Chansen är stor att boken bidrar till att du plötsligt hör sådant som du aldrig tänkt på och börjar förändra hur du arbetar och lever. Du kommer utan tvivel förstå hur vår ljudmiljö faktiskt är ett val som hänger nära ihop med hur vi förhåller oss till samhällsutvecklingen, och vilka som oftast blir vinnare respektive förlorare. Anders Mildner är journalist och författare. Han har bland annat jobbat på Sydsvenskan, Expressen och Svenska Dagbladet. I ett tidigare liv har han drivit musikbolag och spelat trummor i 90-talsbandet Beagle.
