School of Music International Research Seminar Series : ‘Children’s music in Limpopo, South Africa’ |
Other events...
|
The cultural landscape of South Africa is reflected in the songs and games of young children whose music embodies the social and political history of the world around them. My research with young children in the Limpopo province of South Africa (primarily from Venda and Pedi cultures) is indicative of how children of similar ages identify with the idea of South Africa as a nation and how children use music as an educational tool to engage with their social and cultural identities. In a country such as South Africa, where the celebration of diversity stands central to the success of the country, the representation of race, class, culture, and ethnicity is distinctly approached in children’s musical worlds. In this seminar I will explore children’s music in Limpopo as illustrated through musical examples from different spheres of children’s musical lives: their communities, their friends and families, their schools and mediated musical environments.
