Description
INTRODUCTION THIS PAPER CHALLENGES the narrow concept of "Newfoundland music" by exploring the networks and references of hip-hop, a genre not frequently associated with the province's culture. "Newfoundland music and dance," as it is usually defined, conjures up images of fiddles, accordions, old-time square sets, step-dancing, and Newfoundland-Irish bar bands. These activities are a vibrant part of the island's contemporary cultural tapestry, but they largely refer to times past. The strong presence of the past in this imagery assumes that Newfoundland culture is "traditional," and the meaning of "Newfoundland" as an adjective conflates the local with the historical, highlighting connections with Ireland and England.
