The Road Ahead: Iberian Soundscapes

This 2-day convening aims to explore the ongoing impact of Iberian histories in South Asia in shaping identities, social distinction, histories of merchant and commercial capitalism. We bring to the longue duree inquiry of Luso-Hispanic globality (15th century and beyond), a unique focus on histories of music and performance in South Asia and the Americas, particularly Brazil. This conference is co-sponsored with Columbia University and will bring together scholars, musicians, journalists, and other cultural producers to participate in a series of panel discussions and concerts at Yale during two days: October 6 and 7 in Fall 2023.
