This paper aims to reconsider the links between music and politics, and their value for the current production of musical history, based on the analysis of paradigmatic cases of music-making and musicology that reveals a political dimension of music in terms of affirmative culture (Marcuse, 1967) or insurrection (Quintero Rivera, 2020). By suspending the affirmative spell of hegemonic musicology and its reduction of musicking into writing; and considering the sound forms of Global South and the Subaltern Popular World, we will find that all musical production throughout history contains a deep dimension of political actions and interests. Rituals on sound of affirmative culture and insurrection.Downloads
