De l'Ofici de músic popular. Noms i malnoms dels instruments de música tradicional Authors Joan Cuscó i Clarasó Abstract A topic that needs to be well understood is the social consideration of musicians (and of music and instruments) within society. We can approach it from many different angles by studying what they earn, where they live, what events they take part at, what their repertoires are and the ways in which their knowledge is passed on, for example. There are a further two closely related topics that are interesting as well: the names of instruments used in traditional music, and the ways in which music, and musicians in particular, have become interiorised in peoples consciousness over the years. Today, we aim to take a closer look at the trade of popular musicians, at their instruments and at their social consideration based on the way people spoke (or rather, spoke badly) about them, as it was neither neutral nor ingenuous. These issues, which have often been put on the backburner, enable interdisciplinary research work to be conducted by examining oral tradition, literature and other sources of a similar nature; these provide us with an entire anthropology of music and of musicians through utterances and everything else that has been laid down in the cultural background of people within a culture.
