Title
- Cultural Integrity & Local Music: Cape Breton Fiddle, New Orleans Funk
Summary
- Burt Feintuch discusses how two seemingly very different places, Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia and New Orleans, Louisiana, turn out to have much in common. In both, there is broad recognition that something special is going on culturally; something that has produced noteworthy musical distinctiveness. Both are "creative hotspots," places where people are lucky enough to be able to dance to their own music. People in both communities care deeply about their music and also worry about its sustainability. Based on Feintuch's fieldwork, this talk develops the idea of "cultural integrity" and explores local desires and anxieties about the role distinctive local music plays in a good and satisfying life.
