• W103871608 abstract "This dissertation is about the opportunities and challenges posed by the presentation and interpretation of African music performances by African immigrants in Western contexts in general and the United States in particular. The study focuses on the experience of the Umoja African Arts Company, a Pittsburgh based repertory dance ensemble that performs music and dance from various parts of Africa. Although much has been observed on the contribution of Africa to the development of the American music and dance experience, there is a growing interest among African scholars to question the relevance, impact and the analysis of the emerging efforts of new African immigrants in the promotion of African music in changing contexts overseas where creative individuals have to reconfigure new ways of interpreting and presenting cultural resources to diverse audiences. Therefore, this study on the recontextualization of African music in America investigates not only the rationale and the justification for the creation of African performing groups such as Umoja, but also the choices in performance practice in light of their knowledge and understanding of the norms of African traditions as well as the manner in which they transcend the boundaries of ethnicity in their presentation. The study recognizes the factors and historical antecedents that make the creation, the maintenance, and the success of professional African performing troupes such as Umoja in the United States possible, in particular the role of colleges and universities in the teaching and appreciation of African music, the influx over the past decades of Africans from various countries supplying performers capable of forming music and dance repertory groups, and the growing interest of Americans in what is commonly referred to as World Music that engages audiences to experiment with new sounds and aesthetics. Naturally, the creation and development of Umoja was built on a legacy of the Pittsburgh's experience in the promotion of music diversity, the contribution of the African American and other African communities to the cultural life of the city, as well as the financial and administrative support systems provided by the State of Pennsylvania to advance multiculturalism in education and community development." @default.
