Abstract

This chapter outlines the development of a research approach including sound ethnography for investigating a state-funded community music programme in Colombia, Music for Reconciliation. After outlining the peacebuilding context and literature, a pilot with ten participants is discussed. Findings show the contributions of sound postcards as part of life histories for capturing experiences of displaced people in a country recovering from war. Their evocative capacity enriched the interviewees’ narratives, illustrating diverse sonorous landscapes throughout their lives that evidenced changes generated by violence and programme participation. The conclusions offer suggestions for readers across disciplines, interested in the uses of music and music education for other-than-musical purposes.
