She is currently working on a book on the late Cape Verdean singer, Ces\u00e1ria \u00c9vora, tentatively titled Ces\u00e1ria \u00c9vora\u2019s Miss Perfumado, which is under contract with Bloomsbury Publishing\u2019s 33 1\/3 African Popular Music Series. Her second book project, Batida Nights: Luso-African Electronic Dance Music in Lisbon, examines questions of cultural hybridity and transnational exchange within the Lusophone-Atlantic. Through the lens of \u201cbatida,\u201d a contemporary African- inspired electronic dance music created in Lisbon, Portugal, Batida Nights traces the roots and development of Luso-African music in Lisbon from the mid-20th century to today, investigating the ways in which local producers, DJs, and record label managers have created alternative spaces of Afro-diasporic cultural expression and visibility. You can read her work in Sonic Signatures (2023), an edited volume on the phenomenon of migrant and mobile music-making at night.<\/p>\n
When she\u2019s not teaching or doing research, Lin enjoys making music! As a classically trained cellist, Lin has been a member of various orchestras, from the Orchestra Lamoureux in Paris to local orchestras in Boston, including the Apollo Ensemble of Boston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6520,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/afam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13741"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/afam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/afam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/afam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6520"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/afam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13858,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/afam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13741\/revisions\/13858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/afam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
