Beschreibung

Studies in both music and tourism are integral to understanding the culture and livelihood of the circum-Caribbean region, but until recently have been approached from separate perspectives. Sun, Sea, and Sound unites these two areas to bring forward a new framework of study- 'music touristics.' Over the course of eleven chapters, a distinguished, multi-disciplinary group of scholars explore a variety of localities, including Cuba, Jamaica, Brazil, St.Lucia, and New Orleans.
