Authenticity in Fusion Music

Arts & Literature

“Elsen Portugal has enriched the field of ethnodoxology through a creatively designed and executed study of the indigenous musical styles and practices of the Xerente churches in Brazil. His research provides thoughtful and thought-provoking insights into the ‘authentic’ development of musical worship within that culture, suggesting an effective framework for examining the worship musical styles of other Christian communities. Thank you, Elsen Portugal, for your hard work and devotion to cross cultural missions.”
