In this episode we talk with Juan Diego Diaz Meneses, whose article “Listening with the Body: An Aesthetics of Spirit Possession Outside the Terreiro” was published in the winter 2016 issue of the journal, Ethnomusicology. In his investigation of the aesthetics of spiritual possession, Juan Diego compares the ritualistic practices of Candomblé and the musical performances of Orkestra Rumpilezz to highlight the similarities and differences between spiritual possessions in the context of Afro-Bahian music.
