In Tunisia, descendants of slaves, migrants, pilgrims, and other members of the sub¬ Saharan diaspora developed a healing music called stambeli. From without, stambeli is understood as 'African', meaning non-Tunisian, sub-Saharan, and other. From within, however, stambeli ritually negotiates the encounter between sub-Saharan and North Africa's by invoking Black Spirits (sub-Saharan) and White Saints (North African), who heal and make their presence known through ritualised trance. My research will finalise my ethno musicological fieldwork on stambeli in order to complete a monograph on music, spirit possession, and the geo-cultural imagination in North Africa, and to produce the first audio recordings of stambeli.

在突尼斯，奴隶、移民、朝圣者和其他撒哈拉以南散居者的后代发展了一种名为斯坦贝利的治愈音乐。从外部来看，斯坦贝利被理解为“非洲人”，意思是非突尼斯人，撒哈拉以南非洲人和其他人。然而，从内部来看，斯坦贝利通过调用黑灵（撒哈拉以南）和白色圣徒（北非），通过仪式化的恍惚来治愈并使他们的存在为人所知，从而在仪式上谈判撒哈拉以南和北非之间的相遇。我的研究将完成我对斯坦贝利的民族音乐学实地考察，以完成一本关于音乐，精神占有和北非地理文化想象的专著，并制作斯坦贝利的第一部录音。
