Description

Explore the vast musical landscape of the continent with The Garland Handbook of African Music. This comprehensive volume is a revised and updated collection of essays originally featured in The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music: Volume 1, Africa (1997). It serves as a deep resource for students and researchers looking to understand how music defines identity across various African cultures.
