Reconnecting migration studies and the theory of valuation, this collection offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of transnational music practices. Music is here approached as a practice not confined by audibility - rather, it is "seen" when the YouTube video is clicked, "felt" when the subwoofer vibrates, and "smelled" when the festival crowd dances: practices make music emerge in concrete situations constituted by people, objects, techniques, meanings, and emotions. Through these practices, values are created and shared which connect a way of music-making with objects and places of experiencing music unconfined by borders of any kind Frontmatter -- Content -- Introduction-Music practices across borders / Peres da Silva, Glaucia / Hondros, Konstantin -- Valuation in a reversed economy / Fryberger, Annelies -- Culture, creativity and practice / Wafula, Mukasa Situma -- "Come and expose yourself to the fantastic music from around the world" / Lell, Peter -- From desire for recognition to desire for independence / Le Coz, Sandrine -- The invention of African art music / Riva, Nepomuk -- Contemplating musical life in Tunisia under the French protectorate-the society and challenges / El Kahla, Alla -- The construction of an Italian diasporic identity in the city of Buenos Aires at the turn of the 19th century / Anabel González, Daniela -- Brazilian grooves and cultured clichés / Boy Bystron, Janco / Santana, Chico -- About the authors
