A global survey of ethnic musics, with special attention to Sub-Saharan Africa, the Far East, island cultures, and the American Indian. The course will utilize recorded examples, leading to discussions on the relationship between music and ritual, sexual restrictions on the use of musical instruments, supernatural powers ascribed to music, and the "contamination" of pure ethnic music by the West (reggae, etc.) Students do not need to read music to take this class since all examples are recorded.
