Sound Systems, World Beat and Diasporan Identity in Cartagena, Colombia

Abstract

In the early 1990s, anthropologists such as James Clifford and Arjun Appadurai began examining transnational cultural exchanges, in which people, capital, ideas, and culture flowed freely across boundaries and changed the relationship not only between center and periphery but also between different locations along the fringe While both Clifford and Appadurai mentioned music and music bearers as examples of such "traveling cultures" and "global culture flows" respectively, neither of them paid any attention to an important transnational cultural phenomenon that was taking shape and becoming increasingly visible as they were writing: the emergence of the world music and world-beat industries.
