Relocating Popular Music uses the lens of colonialism and tourism to analyse types of music movements, such as transporting music from one place or historical period to another, hybridising it with a different style and furnishing it with new meaning. It discusses music in relation to music video, film, graphic arts, fashion and architecture.

"This collection of articles captures some of the multiple, complex and intricate ways through which the movement of contemporary musical sounds, styles and genres across the globe has an immense impact on notions of identity and their sense of place. Merging theoretical insights and original case studies, the book is a highly welcomed addition to the growing literature on popular music and space, and especially on the ways popular music ushers in aesthetic cosmopolitanism." - Motti Regev, The Open University of Israel, Israel

"Music's apparently increasing freedom from particular places in the Internet era has been accompanied, ironically, by a growth in studies on music's continuing connections to place. Among such studies, this book makes a unique contribution by showing how the 'relocating' of popular music can make its relationship to places all the more significant and multi-faceted." - Andrew Killick, University of Sheffield, UK

"Relocating Popular Music, a lively and timely contribution to music studies, makes a clear case that we really should be paying more attention to how music, as it is made, transmitted and consumed, plays an important role in power struggles about the meanings of space." - David Machin, Örebro University, Sweden
