            The nature of urban ethnomusicology and its relations with its parent discipline have been
            from the start. Some four decades ago, when urban ethnomusicology first entered the ethnom
            scene, the term was taken to signal an expansion of ethnomusicology's research field beyon

            societies into the urban area. It has now become clear that that expansion required a re-t
            prevailing practices and theoretical orientations. To better define the issues at stake, t
            the development of urban ethnomusicology not as praxis but as idea. The essentially multid

            nature of urban ethnomusicology is examined in the context of its relations with anthropol
            in particular. Problems and benefits derived from urban ethnomusicology's multidisciplinar

            are identified for the purpose of putting ethnomusicology into the best possible position 
            challenges posed by a world that is rapidly and inexorably becoming urbanized.
