Leiden & Boston, Brill, [2021]. XXVI,395 pp. 59 col. & b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (pictorial boards). 8vo.

The book covers music for rice rituals, circumcisions, and weddings, as well as music for entertainment. The book contains many photographs and various discussed audiovisual examples, which can be found at DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.c.5170520. The Baduy are supposed to lead a simple, ascetic life. However, there is a shortage of agricultural land, and they face many temptations from the changing world around them. Little has been published about the music and dance of the Baduy. Wim van Zanten's book attempts to fill this gap and is based on short periods of fieldwork between 1976 and 2016. - Text in English. - The publisher's new price is 190.75.…
