This thesis focuses on two cultural centers in Ghana that offer educational music and dance travel packages to foreign guests. Unlike most other venues for cultural tourism that separate performers from the audience, the sites featured in this work give visitors the opportunity to fully participate in music and dance productions. The study draws on theoretical ideas from ethnomusicology and anthropological work on tourism, exploring concepts such as the tourist borderzone, the quest for authenticity, and cosmopolitanism. Musical devices and modes of transmission are examined to show how West African music translates from local artists to visitors while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of community.; Thesis (M.A.)--Tufts University, 2013.; Submitted to the Dept. of Music.; Advisor: David Locke.; Committee: Rebekah Ahrendt, and Nicholas Tochka.; Keyword: Music. %[ 2022-10-13 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
