“…This project, the brainchild of the historian Laurent Dubois, the composer David K. Garner and the modern literary and musical specialist Mary Caton Lingold, explores three scores published in the travel journal of Hans Sloane which reproduced music played by enslaved Africans in the British colony of Jamaica in the 1680s. These notations are one of the earliest archival records of African music in the Americas before the 19th century, and allow us to hear a contemporary interpretation of fragments of a performance long before the arrival of sound recording (Lingold 2017(Lingold , 2020Rath 2018). The digital project increases the possible ways of linking this music to the collective memory, particularly by encouraging musicians to revisit this colonial narrative of a journey through the lens of improvisation and performance-a method which has been applied by the Jamaican members of Inna de Yard, a Rastafarian Nyabinghi group led by the guitarist Earl "Chinna" Smith, and by the choir of the University of the West Indies at Mona, in 2017.…”

“…Ce projet, initié par l'historien Laurent Dubois, le compositeur David K. Garner et la spécialiste de littérature et de musique de l'époque moderne Mary Caton Lingold, explore trois partitions publiées dans le récit de voyage de Hans Sloane qui restituent des musiques jouées par des Africain•es asservi•es dans la colonie britannique, dans les années 1680. Ces notations représentent l'une des archives les plus anciennes de la musique africaine dans les Amériques avant le XIX e siècle et offrent la possibilité d'écouter l'interprétation contemporaine de traces de performances bien antérieures à l'avènement de l'enregistrement sonore(Lingold 2017(Lingold , 2020Rath 2018). Ce projet numérique multiplie les entrées possibles de ces musiques dans la mémoire collective, notamment en encourageant les musicien•nes à revisiter le récit du voyage colonial par le biais de l'improvisation et de la performance -une méthode inaugurée à la fois par les Jamaïcain•es d'Inna de Yard, un ensemble rastafari Nyabinghi dirigé par le guitariste Earl « Chinna » Smith, et par des musicien•nes de l'université Chorale of the West Indies (Mona) en 2017.…”
