DESCRIPTION:*How might music move with patterns of migration? What role do
 es music play in the maintenance of transnational identities and the forgi
 ng of new social relations in the diaspora?*\n\nMusic acts as a ‘social 
 glue’ that can bring together diverse communities\, both through grassro
 ots human interactions and social media platforms. It can function as a fo
 rm of nostalgia for the homeland and as a way of connecting communities ac
 ross transnational contexts. Music can also operate as a mode of social in
 tegration\, where musicians from different cultural backgrounds come into 
 contact forging new cultural forms. In this panel\, we will explore what h
 appens when music and musicians migrate to new places of belonging\, drawi
 ng on case studies from the North African diaspora in Europe. At a time of
  rising nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric\, we explore music’s r
 ole in debates about belonging\, multiculturalism and integration.\n\n \n\
 n*Speakers*\n_Dr Matthew Machin-Autenrieth_ will discuss his research on i
 ntercultural music making between Spanish and Moroccan musicians in the ci
 ty of Granada\, Spain.   \n\n_Dr Vanessa Paloma Elbáz_ will focus on the 
 historical and contemporary movement of Jewish repertoire in and out of Mo
 rocco\, and the subsequent creation of multi-lingual and multi-stylistic c
 ommunity-based repertoires.\n\n_Dr Stephen Wilford_ will explore the role 
 of the internet\, and in particular social media\, in the musical connecti
 ons that exist between Algeria and Algerian communities in the UK and Fran
 ce.\n\nThis panel is part of the ERC-funded project ‘Past and Present Mu
 sical Encounters across the Strait of Gibraltar’. For more information\,
