We invite you to the seminar "Black Ethnomusicology: Crossroads of Knowledge and the African Legacy in Musical Studies" with the participation of Professor Pedro Acosta (Federal University of Bahia - UFBA), organized by the Research in Musical Anthropology (PAM-USP), the Black Ethnomusicology Collective (CEN-UFBA), and the Black Memory project at FFLCH.

The event aims to share experiences in Black Ethnomusicology through the historical agency of Black people in musical studies, art, and culture.
