		These are followed by the music of solo and duet of stamping tubes that are unique to the 'Are-'are and the vigorous music of wooden slit-drum ensembles in “call-response” style.
		Instead, the CD enumerates types of ensemble music, as the recorded subjects themselves are said to have desired (see page 7 of liner notes), and for each type, lists some of the more popular repertory in that category.
		Postulating that musical performances do articulate the sense of living in a particular history and society, an examination of the relationships between the specific complexity of a Melanesian polyphony and the “lived" social experience of its performers would have cast light on the diverse meanings of the music.

	A Sweet Lullaby For World Music
		The binary reproduced by the world music concept thus participated in reinscribing the separation of musicology, constructed as the historical and analytic study of Western European art musics, from ethnomusicology, constructed by default as the cultural and contextual study of musics of non-Europeans, European peasants, and marginalized ethnic or racial minorities.
		Even though much of the early emphasis was on studying Western popular musical forms, particularly rock music, popular music studies' concern to theorize the global dominance of mediated musics in the twentieth century signaled to ethnomusicology that its uncritical naturalization of "authentic traditions" was in trouble.
		The inability of pop music "royalty" to examine their privilege (Lipsitz 1994, 63), and their lack of reflexivity about how those being curated might see and hear it all quite differently, is a stunning act of narcissism for an industry so invested in a democratic image of collaboration.
