Ethnomusicologist
|
Johanna Everharda La Rivière Fourie (1884–1973), often referred to as Jo Fourie, was South Africa’s first woman ethnomusicologist. Her work from the 1930s to the 1960s focused on documenting boeremusiek—a genre of rural Afrikaner folk music—and played a crucial role in its preservation. However, her ethnomusicological approach, shaped by the cultural and political climate of apartheid-era South Africa, has been the subject of both recognition and critique.
