Timothy Rommen analyzes Bahamian musical life as it has been influenced and shaped by the islands' location between the United States and the rest of the Caribbean; tourism; and Bahamian colonial and postcolonial history. Focusing on popular music in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, in particular rake-n-scrape and Junkanoo, Rommen finds a Bahamian music that has remained culturally rooted in the local even as it has undergone major transformations. Highlighting the ways entertainers have represented themselves to Bahamians and to tourists, Funky Nassau illustrates the shifting terrain that musicians navigated during the rapid growth of tourism and in the aftermath of independence.Music of the African DiasporaPopular music - Bahamas - History and criticismPopular music -- Bahamas -- History and criticismPopular musicHistory and criticismBahamasafro bahamian.baha men.bahamas.bahamian culture.bahamian musicians.bay street.bilby.blind blake.calypso.caribbean.carnival.colonialism.colony.ethnomusicology.former colony.freedom.history.independence.islands.junkanoo.music.musicians.national identity.nonfiction.popular music.postcolonial.rake n scrape.rebellion.republic.revolution.tourism.tropical.Popular music - Bahamas - History and criticism.Popular music -- Bahamas -- History and criticism.Popular musicHistory and criticism781.64097296Rommen Timothyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1623922DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910826955403321Funky Nassau3958606UNINA
