Jamming in the Third Space: South Asian Fusion Music in Canada

Abstract

This article looks at the production of Afro-Asian music in Canada and its possibilities for political and cultural alliances, drawing upon previous studies of Afro-Asian musical production throughout diaspora. Using some of the themes gathered from this research, including the challenges of internal and external racism, the current study analyzes findings from interviews conducted with 13 individuals involved in or connected to the South Asian musical scene in Canada, primarily Toronto. Respondents revealed the diversity of South Asian fusion music in Canada, as well as its role in contributing to a hybrid identity and challenging what it means to be South Asian.
