Taken together, these comprehensive volumes offer an
authoritative account of the music of Africa. One of the most
prominent experts on the subject, Gerhard Kubik draws on his
extensive travels and three decades of study in many parts of the
continent to compare and contrast a wealth of musical traditions
from a range of cultures.
In the first volume, Kubik describes and examines xylophone playing
in southern Uganda and harp music from the Central African
Republic; compares multi-part singing from across the continent;
and explores movement and sound in eastern Angola. And in the
second volume, he turns to the cognitive study of African rhythm,
Yoruba chantefables, the musical Kachamba family of Malaŵi, and
African conceptions of space and time.
Each volume features an extensive number of photographs and is
accompanied by a compact disc of Kubik's own recordings. Erudite
and exhaustive, "Theory of African Music" will be an invaluable
reference for years to come.
