Among Aboriginal musicians from remote Central Australian desert communities, performances in white-dominated towns are commonly portrayed as desirable occasions for engaging with a white-dominated socio-musical realm. This seminar explores how such racially informed cross-cultural notions are put to work in the accumulation of Aboriginal male and musician status. I then describe how Aboriginal town gigs are in fact organised, carried out and evaluated by various Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal stakeholders. I suggest that instead of producing congenial cross-cultural exchanges, most Aboriginal town gigs are particularly powerful and passionate mono-cultural happenings for the reproduction of real and imagined division of “blackfella” and “whitefella” domains, with distinct forms of sociability. read more »

The Zedashe Ensemble is based in the medieval fortress city of Sighnaghi, Eastern Georgia, which has been home to the Kiziqian wine growers and warriors since ancient times. Directed by Ketevan Mindorashvili, the current incarnation of the ensemble was founded in the mid 1990s to sing repertoire largely lost during the Communist era. Their repertoire consists of ancient three-part chants from the Orthodox Christian liturgy, folk songs from the Kiziqian region as collected from village song-masters and old publications, and folk dances from the region.
