Mande Music

Description:

For many Western world music enthusiasts Mande music is the very sound of world music; the music of West Africa has become synonymous with the genre. From the songs of griots to the beat of the jembe, the music has slowly formed itself into Western consciousness. MANDE MUSIC, Eric Charry's comprehensive guide to the music in all its styles--the ranks of its singers, the proper significance of their instruments, the music terminology, plus an exhaustive guide to relevant recordings of this fertile and far-reaching genre of African regional music--is an invaluable aid to anyone wishing to gain a deeper knowledge of the beauty and subtlety of this multi-faceted form and to gain a fuller appreciation of its influence on Western musical culture.
