Musical Transformations Across the Atlantic Ocean

Atlantic Crossings: Music, Mobility and Cultural Exchange in the Luso-Afro-Atlantic explores the Atlantic Ocean as a historically layered and dynamic space of musical transformation. The concert lecture highlights how people, ideas, repertoires, and musical traditions have continually moved across maritime routes to reshape cultures.

According to program details, the event examines connections linking Portuguese, African, and Atlantic communities through sound and shared history. Scholars and performers analyze these exchanges to demonstrate how repertoires evolved across geographic borders.

The presentation forms part of an ongoing exploration into musical mobility within the Luso-Afro-Atlantic sphere. Organizers structured the program to trace how cultural practices adapted during centuries of maritime interaction.
