摘要

政客们在竞选期间使用的音乐能告诉我们他们的行为、性格和统治吗？文章通过分析爱国阵线在赢得2011年选举和随后的选举之前在赞比亚使用的政治歌曲来回答这个问题。这篇文章认为，音乐可以成为理解政治领导人行为的一个重要的、未被承认的工具，在这种情况下，可以理解他们的守门行为，目的是通过破坏反对派来维持执政党的执政。

Gatekeeping Through Music: A Case of the Patriotic Front in Zambia

What can music used by politicians during campaigns tell us about their behaviour, character and their rule? The article responds to this question by analysing political songs used by Patriotic Front (PF) in Zambia, before winning the 2011 elections and the subsequent elections. This article argues that music can be an important unacknowledged tool for understanding the behaviour of political leaders, and in this case, their gatekeeping behaviour that aims at sustaining the ruling party in power by undermining the opposition.
