More about the book
Exploring the legacy of Django Reinhardt, this book delves into the cultural significance of jazz manouche, a genre rooted in the Manouche Romani community. Ethnomusicologist Siv B. Lie examines the complexities of identity and belonging in France, where the popularity of jazz manouche contrasts with the marginalization of the Manouche people. Through historical context and ethnographic research, the narrative reveals how this musical style serves as a means for both Manouche performers and listeners to navigate their relationships with French society, highlighting the tension between cultural heritage and national identity.
