Description

Asante Court Music and Verbal Arts in Ghana offers a comprehensive exploration of Asante court musical traditions, examining the intricate relationships between history, performance, and cultural values. This scholarly work weaves together historical narratives with detailed analyses of music performed on traditional instruments including drums, ivory trumpets, and cane flutes. The book presents a critical assembly of ancient song texts, the poetry of bards known as kwadwom, and referential poetry performed by members of the constabulary called apae. Through examination of musical examples drawn from court ceremonies, rituals, festivals, and spontaneous performances, the author illuminates how lived experience, music, and Asante values intersect. Part of the respected SOAS Studies in Music series published by Routledge, this volume serves as both an academic resource and cultural documentation for understanding West African musical heritage.
