Greeted With Smiles: Bukharian Jewish Music and Musicians in New York - American Musicspheres
Rapport, Evan (Assistant Professor, Ethnomusicology, Assistant Professor, Ethnomusicology, Eugene Lang College, The New School for Liberal Arts, New York)
Greeted with Smiles: Bukharian Jewish Music and Musicians in New York explores the circumstances facing new American immigrants, using the music of the Bukharian Jews to gain entrance into their community and their culture. Author Evan Rapport investigates the transformation of Bukharian identity through an examination of corresponding changes in its music, focusing on three of these distinct but overlapping repertoires - maquom (classical or"heavy" music), Jewish religious music and popular music.
