PAM - Research in Musical Anthropology
invites you to a discussion and lecture with Prof. Dr. Tiago de Oliveira Pinto:
Roundtable discussion with researchers (2:00 PM)
Lecture (4:00 PM): Music, Recôncavo, Living Heritage – a musicological journey
In this lecture, I intend to trace the path of my own career as an anthropologist, musician, and musicologist, starting from the Recôncavo Baiano, where I began working in 1982, to outline a field of research that has evolved—also in relation to cultural agents—and where the academic contribution necessarily includes engagement with many of the pressing issues of today’s world.
Tiago de Oliveira Pinto is Full Professor of the first UNESCO Chair in Musicology, affiliated with Transcultural Music Studies at the University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar, Germany, where he has been based since 2009.
In 2025, he assumed the Musical Heritage Chair at the Kronberg Academy, Germany. His current research, teaching, and international projects focus on
Transcultural Studies in music and music as living cultural heritage. He has conducted international collaborative research in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Turkey, South Africa, Germany, Colombia, and Brazil.
