Why would a punk band popular only in Indonesia cut songs in English? If you're rapping in Tanzania and Malawi, what do you rhyme in? Swahili? Chichewa? English? Some combination of these? This book examines how performers and audiences from a wide range of cultures deal with the issue of language choice and dialect in popular music.
