The application of music in healing within Africa has been
portrayed as nearly inevitably a subject about traditional rituals
of possession adepts or shamans. It seems the absence of music
therapy as a professional practice, and an interest in traditional
cultures among anthropologists and ethnomusicologists, is
responsible for that conjecture. Details in one of the chapters in
this text leave no doubt that there is a strong relationship
between music and traditional healing in Kenya. But comparable
rituals are for Kenyans also Western imports, for healing
procedures in performances of catholic charismatics clearly show
that analogous trance behavior is manifest in healing functions in
which music or sound is likewise essential. What's more, a chapter
on street musicians shows that relationships between music and
healing are evident in contexts other than just religious rituals.
Scholars in musicology, anthropology, music therapy, psychology,
religious studies, African Studies, and others interested in
healing and/or music will find this text relevant. It is suggested
that a workable music therapy for Africa needs an understanding of
practices of healing in Africa that apply music, such as those
discussed.
