This question seems important to ask, considering the conflictual recent past of the country that particularly affected cultural expressions such as music. In these four articles diverse perspectives on Afghan music are explored. From traditional music of the Afghan rubab and its masters up to popular music of the Afghan-German hiphop producer "Farhot", various insights are given into phenomena yet barely covered in academic works. This collection provides glimpses into the variety of the music of Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora and help to shape the Western views on the music of the country into more diverse perspectives. We move further away from the bias of the majority of media representations predominantly showing the conflictual sides of Afghanistan, at the same time avoiding a limiting and narrow view on Afghanistan with solely a musical tradition located in the past. These essays go beyond and outline that apart from a rich tradition, there are present forms of musical expression. We move from "Tradition to Television" and beyond, exploring views on the future of music connected to Afghanistan. 51 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210510-43682 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4368 Hochschule für Musik FRANZ LISZT OPUS4-4071 Buch (Monographie) de Oliveira Pinto, Tiago Music as living heritage What is cultural heritage, and why has it received so much public interest in recent years? Almost three decades after the World Organization UNESCO defined and established international recognition of Cultural and Natural Heritage sites and devised ways of protecting them, a completely new approach to cultural heritage emerged with the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2003. This global agreement for the maintenance, protection and dissemination of cultural manifestations and achievements that are not tangible objects or immobile monuments, like previous items classified as World Heritage, was a remarkable milestone of international cultural politics. This new understanding of cultural heritage owes much to representatives from Asian, African, and Latin American countries. In fact, just a few years after the promulgation of the 2003 Convention, the world cultural heritage map had already lost much of its European predominance. Asian countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India very soon showed up with lists of manifestations of their centenary (in some cases even millenary) national cultural heritages.
