Fiddling has had a lengthy history in Africa which has long been
ignored. Jacqueline Cogdell DjeDje corrects this oversight with an
expansive study on fiddling in the Fulbe, Hausa, and Dagbamba
cultures of West Africa. DjeDje not only explains the history of
the instrument itself, but also discusses the processes of
stylistic transference and adaptation, suggesting how these may
have contributed to differing performance practices. Additionally,
DjeDje delves into the music, the performance context, the
musicians behind the fiddle, the meaning of the instrument, and its
use in these three cultures. This detailed work helps the reader
understand and appreciate three little-known musical cultures in
West Africa and the fiddle's influence upon them.
