Description

The Garland Handbook of African Music compiles essays from the comprehensive Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, offering revised and updated scholarship on African musical cultures across the continent. This authoritative resource examines how music defines regional identity through detailed studies of diverse African traditions. Part One introduces Africa's geographical and cultural context. Part Two explores critical issues including notation systems, oral tradition practices, dance in communal settings, and intellectual property considerations within African music. Part Three presents in-depth analyses of specific regions, countries, and cultural groups throughout Africa. Written by leading ethnomusicologists and scholars, this handbook serves students, researchers, and music professionals seeking to understand the complexity and significance of African musical expression within its social, cultural, and historical frameworks.
