What is Musical Inheritance? Part 2

The Music Talkshow

In this episode of The Music Talkshow, produced by Tejaswinee Kelkar in collaboration with Oslo's Historical Museum, Tejaswinee speaks with Dr. Boro Baski about the musical heritage of the Santhal ethnic community; the instrument banam and the long process of creating, becoming, and in other ways inheriting musical heritage, such as singing folk songs, dancing practices and festivals, through the instrument; and how this inheritance is contextualised in a changing society and other kinds of musical learning.

This English language interview (with excerpts of Norwegian) follows a thematic exhibition at the museum and comes with a list of English language references, which, together with the full version, can be found here: https://www.historiskmuseum.no/utstillinger/arv/podkast/
