Audiovisual Ethnomusicology. Filming musical cultures by Leonardo D’Amico. Bern: Peter Lang, 2020.
“Audiovisual Ethnomusicology is a revelation, an inspiration and an important new story about what ethnomusicologists do and therefore what ethnomusicology is” – Timothy Rice (Preface of the book)
“Audiovisual Ethnomusicology is an encyclopedic compendium of films and film related scholarship published in the English language. This engaging work is the only current book on the market that encapsulates this scene and will thus be valuable to anyone interested in the visual aspects of musical performance practice and the utility of film as a medium of presentation and research in ethnomusicology” – Frank Gunderson (Yearbook of Traditional Music, 2023)
“This surely is a matter of academic identification to a considerable degree. For the representatives of the dominant Anglo-American anthropological variant of ethnomusicology, D’Amico’s treatment provides an affirmation of their disciplinary identity. For many others, Audiovisual Ethnomusicology presents itself as a valuable encyclopedia into the world offilmed musical cultures, as it were” – Antti-Ville Kärjä (Ethnomusicology Forum, 2021)

This video was shot in Kunming in 2017 when I was an Adjunct Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at Yunnan University. “I Miss Kunming” is a tribute to a city that has remained in my heart and is dedicated to all the wonderful people I have met. A life experience I will never forget.
