Music, War, Ethnomusicology, Post-conflict, Narrative imagination,Abstract
This article explores different frameworks between the relationship of music, war and conflict transformation. This study considers how music can contribute to the possibilities of a lasting peace in societies located near the end of a violent historical conflict. It also suggests that cultural factors, especially music, can; a) identify social conflicts; b) think its several solutions in the community; and c) consider, based on some specific cases, the way in which music allowed catalyzing dialogue and conflictual transformation through musical practice and reflection.
