Reviews for Karaoke Around the World: Global Technology, Local Singing

... this book is recommended reading for anyone interested in cultural practices in music making. It bears cosideration for its conclusions about how and why different cultures adopt a musical technology and share musical behaviors, and for its look into the ways authors from different cultures think about these issues.. -Thom Gencarelli, Montclair State University
