Music of the twenty-first century disporas: research and problems, edited by Serena Facci and Giovanni Giuriati, Venezia, Cini Foundation, 2022, free online publication.
No full textThe book takes inspiration from a seminar organized by the Intercultural Institute for Comparative Music Studies in January 2020. It contains a methodological contribution by Adelaida Reyes to whose memory this volume is dedicated, and one by the anthropologist Francesco Remotti. These contributions are followed by a presentation of original research conducted by mainly Italian scholars who offer a multi-voiced reflection on the musical life of the many migratory contexts that can be observed in Italy. A vivid and varied picture emerges both in terms of the particularities of the musical cultures involved and of the research themes. In the papers, the reader may find several links to audio and video documents illustrating the research.

Choir transhumance in the Filipino Catholic community in Rome
No full textThe article is part of a research project (2014-2018) among Christian immigrants in Rome and focuses particularly on the Filipino community. Serena Facci presents the general context of the migrant church experience of Rome, a city historically considered as central to the wider transnational community of Catholic Christians, where, thanks to the hosting politics of the Vicariate, there are several ‘national’ and ‘multinational’ churches, characterised by liturgies in different languages and by repertoires of chants in different geocultural styles. The migrants’ position in the holy city is juxtaposed with the multicentricity of the diaspora and the mediation between the motherland and the new places of residence. Grazia Tuzi shows how the Filipinos in Rome represent this multicentricity through the liturgical services of musical groups and choirs from the peripheral churches surrounding Rome. On Sundays, the Filipino micro-communities proceed in a kind of “transhumant” movement according to a predetermined schedule, from their parishes to the Chaplaincy located in the Basilica of Santa Pudenziana, which is the gathering place of all Filipinos living in Rome. Here they accompany the Sunday liturgy and religious Festivals in performances that bear witness to a remarkable musical variety.
The analysis of these musical practices and the complex organization of the choir’s "transhumance" from the periphery to the centre can facilitate the understanding of the processes used by this migrant community in the re-articulation and maintenance of their own identity in the new socio-cultural spheres.

The voice that gives voice : female folk revival singers around 1968
No full textThis chapter explores Folk Music Revival, a movement born in many countries during the 1960s when vocal icons became spokespeople for particular local musical cultures. It was also influenced by ideological motivation such as socio-economic egalitarianism, pacifism and Third-Worldism. Among American singers, a pivotal female voice had a significant role, that of Joan Baez who had a great influence everywhere in the world and also in Italy. In this country, the Folk Revival was dominated by charismatic women who were experts in their local rural or regional repertoires, such as the Sicilian Rosa Balistreri - and ‘outsider’ singers and folk researchers inspired by these traditions, in particular Giovanna Marini who also influenced many other younger women. Their songs became a sort of ‘manifesto’ for political demands.
This contribution focuses on the experiences of Baez, Marini, and Balistreri, three women with a very strong personality who expressed very different subjective aptitudes in their vocality, musicality, and performance style. The ideological motivation of these artists’ work led to aesthetic empowerment of the female voice, a ‘voice that gives voice’, both in the linguistic sense through the social and/or political meaning of the lyrics, and in a stylistic sense through the resumption or re-invention of particular elements of rural origin
