Summary: The Roots of Music
Review: This is an excellent book, explaining the forms of music in Africa. It shows how music differs in different parts of the continent and talks about the different social roles of music.
My only complaint is that ther book wasn't longer.
The book inspired me to seek out examples of the music talked about in the book.
