Der Begriff „kulturelle Musikwissenschaft“ umfasst seit über einem halben Jahrhundert verschiedene musikwissenschaftliche Visionen, die das Ziel verfolgen, ein besseres Verständnis von Musik zu erlangen. Aktuelle Ansätze betrachten musikalische Aktivitäten als kulturelle Praktiken und streben an, über die systematische Analyse von Diskursen hinauszugehen. Im Fokus steht die Erforschung unserer intellektuellen Möglichkeiten, die es uns ermöglichen, die Welt durch Musik in physischer, sozialer und diskursiver Hinsicht zu begreifen. Daraus ergeben sich zentrale Themen und kritische Denkansätze, die die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes anhand spezifischer musikalischer Praktiken diskutieren. Es wird deutlich, dass es der kulturellen Musikwissenschaft darum geht, Fragen aufzuwerfen und Perspektiven zu eröffnen, anstatt definitive Antworten zu liefern. Sie strebt eine fortwährende Suche nach neuen Wegen und Annäherungen an die Musik an und verkörpert eine produktive intellektuelle Rastlosigkeit. Dieser Band enthält Beiträge von Birgit Abels, Charissa Granger, Lawrence Kramer, John Richardson und Eva-Maria van Straaten.

East African “classic” music, known as zilipendwa in Tanzania and zilizopendwa in Kenya, is experiencing a revival. Artists like Samba Mapangala, Les Wanyika, and Mlimani Park Orchestra are being played at clubs, weddings, and live performances, captivating audiences with their timeless melodies. While younger generations are drawn to the vibrant sounds of Bongo Flava and Genge, these cherished old songs continue to resonate in dance halls and social events across cities such as Nairobi, Kisumu, and Dar es Salaam. They are not only performed live but also remixed and sampled by contemporary rap artists, showcasing their enduring appeal. This resurgence is more than mere nostalgia; it represents a movement that emphasizes health and community well-being. The articles in this collection explore how the appreciation for zili(zo)pendwa transcends melancholic reflection, instead fostering a conscious engagement with the values of a bygone era. This music creates temporary spaces for community connection and cultural expression, highlighting its significance in today’s social landscape.
