Anthropology has neglected the study of music and this needs to be 
redressed. This book sets out to show how and why. It does so by 
bringing music to the subfield of digital anthropology, arguing that 
digital anthropology has much to gain by expanding its horizons to music 
– becoming more interdisciplinary by reference to digital/media studies, 
music and sound studies.

Music and Digital Media is the first comparative ethnographic study of 
the impact of digital media on music worldwide. It offers a radical and 
lucid new theoretical framework for understanding digital media through 
music, showing that music is today where the promises and problems of 
the ‘digital’ assume clamouring audibility – while acting as a testing 
ground for innovations in the digital-cultural industries. The book 
contains ten chapters, eight of which present comprehensive original 
ethnographies. The chapters between them addresses popular, folk and art 
musics in the global South and North, including Kenya, Argentina, India, 
Canada and the UK/Europe, with each chapter providing a different 
regional or digital focus.

The book is unique in bringing ethnographic research on popular, folk 
and art musics from the global North and South into a comparative 
framework on a large scale, and creates an innovative new paradigm for 
comparative anthropology.
