Is it not interesting how in the West African music was often depicted as "wild, raucous and uncivilised. Then however, this stately, delicate and beautiful music is what Africans are really doing.
@noisenik2 жыл бұрын
West Africans (not broaden our considerations too widely... :) made music in made modes, traditions and manners, in differing contexts, with divergent social and aesthetic aims, to distinct artistic ends... and still do.... What does, i concur, strike one is that in a particular, external, discourse, for a time, that diversity and richness seems interestedly ignored, unexamined and denied.
