Happy 2017, fellow ethnomusicologists and music scholars! My name is Otto Stuparitz and I am excited to become the Editor-in-Chief for Volume 21 of Ethnomusicology Review. Being involved with the journal as an associate editor for two Sounding Board sections and as part of the Editorial Board, I appreciate the importance of having an enthusiastic team of editors to co-create with me as we put together a new volume.
