Guidelines for Global Pop Playlist Ethno 25 "Global Pop"

F17, Prof. Koons

Each student will curate a global popular music stream on Spotify. A complete assignment meets the following criteria:

a) Program a one-hour (or 12-15 track) segment of global popular music that represents one of the listed regional genres (see below).

b) Give your musical program a title. c) Write three pages (750 words) of "listening notes" that give an overview of the chosen

musical genre and information about each example regarding its musical characteristics and social or cultural context.

d) "Broadcast" your program by uploading the listening notes and Spotify playlist link (right click on the playlist name an select "Copy HTTP Link") to the CCLE website Discussion Forum.

e) You must also submit the listening notes via TurnItIn. Note: your playlist and listening notes will be visible to other students in the course. If you prefer your work remain anonymous, please notify the instructor before you post your work to the CCLE Discussion Forum. Please create a playlist based on one of the following genres. If the genre that interests you is not on this list, please consult the professor or your TA. Palmwine Highlife Juju Hiplife Afrobeat Ska Rocksteady Roots reggae Dub or dub poetry Dancehall reggae Indian film music/Bollywood Indian fusion ("East/West fusion") Bhangra (pop or traditional) Bhangra remix (Bhangra/hip hop)

Note: You may use the Rough Guide to World Music or similar publication to get ideas about how to put together a playlist, but we want to see your original work. Do not copy one of their playlists; you will be failed if you do.
