The growing interest in the visual dimension of musical performance practice and the use of film as a medium of presentation and research in Ethnomusicology is related to the increasingly wide use of visual ethnographic methods of research and representation and to the technological development of modern visual tools used today in field research. F...
‘Real’ and ‘fake’ in filmic representation is a long-standing dilemma. Reality is an age-old anthropological and philosophical debate characterized by the dialectical tension within things as they appear through our representation and what they ‘really’ are. Film as an audiovisual representation of the world is a textual “construct” in the same way...
In August 2012, a television documentary about traditional and modern music was shot in Calabar, Nigeria. The main focus of the documentary was to find the roots of cumbia music, originated by the Afro-descendents in the Atlantic coast of Colombia and widespread in all Latin American countries.

Leonardo D'Amico (Conservatorio de Mantua) Resumen " La película constituye una indispensable y tal vez la más importante forma de documentación disponible para el etnomusicólogo " , escribía Mantle Hood en The Ethnomu...
Visualizing music, and not just listen to it, is one of the fundamental principles to deepen the knowledge of music belonging to traditional cultures. The audiovisual approach to the study of music allows to catch the sounding image containing a significant amount of useful information that, in many cases, become essential to the knowledge of music...
La cumbia es la expresión musical mayormente representativa de la cultura costeña de la costa caribeña de Colombia. La cumbia colombiana, en su forma original, presenta fuertes rasgos musicales africanos (especialmente evidentes en el uso de tambores relacionados con las tradiciones culturales de las poblaciones del Golfo de Guinea) y es practicada...
The visual perception of music becomes a significant factor in the processes of interaction between teacher and student. The process of transmission of musical knowledge (of forms, vocal and instrumental repertoires of rules and techniques of execution and construction of instruments) should therefore be redefined as observation-imitation-memorizin...

In August 2012 a television documentary films about various forms of traditional and modern music was realized in Nigeria and Cameroon, with particular attention to the area of Calabar. The underlying theme of the documentary was to identify the roots of cumbia, music genre and dance practiced by the Afro-descendents of the Atlantic coast of Colomb...
The paper aims to outline the process of hybridization between European, African and, to a lesser extent, indigenous musical influences that has led to the shape of a musical genre originating in the north-eastern of Colombia, called Vallenato. Its traditional instrumental ensemble, consisting of three instruments, one of which of European origin (...
Para profundizar en el conocimiento de la música tradicional tanto europea como de cualquier procedencia es fundamental ¿ver¿ la música en lugar de sólo escucharla o escribir sobre ella. Desde el nacimiento de la antropología visual ha habido diferentes formas de desarrollar esta idea. A través de un repaso a las películas documentales producidas d...
Les Garifuna sont les descendants d'indiens Caribes Rojos qui occupaient certaines îles des Petites Antilles avant l'arrivée de Christophe Colomb ainsi que d'esclaves africains fuyards et naufragés. Egalement connus sous le nom de Caraïbes Noirs, ils représentent une des fusions les plus singulières entre groupes africains et cultures indigènes de...
