Abstract

Purpose: This article generally discusses music anthropology as a multidisciplinary field of study that explores the relationship between music, culture, and human behavior. The problem raised in this article is the lack of in-depth understanding of how music acts as a reflection, shaper, and connector of cultural dynamics, especially in the era of globalization which brings significant changes to the study of music anthropology. By exploring its historical roots in ethnomusicology to its development in the modern era, this article underlines the transformation and relevance of music studies in understanding cultural and social dynamics in various contexts, with the hope of providing theoretical and practical insights in understanding, preserving, and integrating traditional music into the modern context. Method: This research uses qualitative methods by integrating literature review, comparative analysis, and thematic exploration of key texts and case studies in the field. Data sources came from relevant books and scholarly articles to provide a comprehensive perspective. Triangulation techniques were used to validate the data through comparisons between definitions, theories and historical contexts, thus ensuring consistency of findings across approaches. Results and Discussion: The results in this study show that music anthropology, both in its classical and contemporary approaches, remains relevant as a cultural analysis tool. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in understanding music, not only as an artistic expression, but also as a reflection of identity and its evolving dynamics.

Abstract

Music sociology is a discipline that studies the relationship between music and the society around it, how music reflects, shapes, and is influenced by social, cultural, and political dynamics. Using a qualitative approach sourced from scientific articles and relevant books, this paper discusses the essence of music sociology as a bridge between artistic expression and social reality, highlighting the role of music as a means of communication, cultural identity, and a medium of social transformation. The history of music sociology is explored, from its roots in modernism to contemporary theoretical developments that integrate interdisciplinary approaches. In the contemporary context, music is not only a part of popular culture, but also a means of understanding global issues, such as gender equality, human rights, and climate change. Music has become a platform for social protest, a symbol of resistance, and also a place for marginalized groups to voice their identity. It also examines the challenges facing music sociology today, including globalization, digitalization, and homogenization, which affect the diversity of local music and the way people interact with music. Through in-depth analysis, the article emphasizes the importance of a critical approach to music in understanding social dynamics. It also emphasizes the relevance of the sociology of music in bridging cultural gaps, strengthening social solidarity, and opening up discussion on broader humanitarian issues. Therefore, this article provides not only theoretical insights but also practical reflections on the position of music in changing or building society.
