Description

Asante Court Music and Verbal Arts in Ghana: The Porcupine and the Gold Stool provides a detailed portrait of the musical traditions within the Asante court. This scholarly work from the SOAS Studies in Music series connects historical narratives with deep analysis of texts performed on drums, ivory trumpets, and cane flutes. Readers gain access to a critical assembly of ancient song texts, including the poetry of bards (kwadwom) and referential poetry performed by members of the constabulary (apae). By examining the connections between lived experience, music, and values, this book offers a clear look at the role of sound in Asante culture. Content covers a wide range of musical examples, including those found in court ceremonies, rituals, and festivals, as well as casual performances. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in African musicology, verbal arts, and the cultural history of Ghana.
