월드뮤직 장르 ‘Isicathamiya’의 민족전통전개

Abstract

This is a thesis on studies of the historical change of Isicathmiya. Isicathamiya is what the folk music factors which Zulu, one of South Africa tribes, has are reflected on the western a cappella. Although Isicathamiya originated with introduction of American Black gospel, I studied only the music not with evidence spread from mouth to mouth but with the accurate audio materials and recoding in this paper. First I had argued about the history. This is because the music is formed with social and cultural background. I ascertained that politics, economy, social, and culture etc. of South Africa have something to do with Isicathamiya as I examined the origin and the historical process of Isicathamiya. The periodical music history was divided into 4 stages such as a formative period, a transition and development period, and the present period from a newspaper record published in Durban in 1891 to the present time. And I examined the periodical features of Isicathamiya based on the important points among features revealed by a representative musician󰡑s works in each period. Although Isicathmiya, South Africa's music genre, was developed under the influence of black gospel, it was developed in its own unique music genres beyond the mere imitation and it is causing a great reverberation in the world music market. This thesis has a significant meaning because it studies Isicathamiya's characteristics by reviewing its historical transition. In 21st century considering diversity and creativity as important things, the trend to lose the identity of the domestic music owing to accepting western music unconditionally must move toward the succession and development of the domestic traditional music. I studied this thesis, hoping that Korean music will try to create a new style like that of South Africa. I hope that such a research as this will continue.
