Originally published in 1948 and updated with a new introduction in
1970 this book is a classic study on the musical life of a Bantu
people in Mozambique. It discusses the poetry on which the music
and dances are based and provides, both in original and
translation, 50 Chopi songs which are related to the social setting
of Chopi life. It analyses some of the musical compositions and
their structure with illustrations and transcriptions in score and
describes the method of manufacture of the instruments. One chapter
is devoted to full descriptions of the elaborate orchestral dances.
The book is illustrated by numerous photographs and maps, and
contains a glossary of musical terms, and extracts from early
Portuguese accounts of the Chopi people and their music.
