Description
African music first emerged from Africa’s ancient oral traditions, and today it is enjoyed by listeners all around the world. Over the past two decades, it has moved from small local dance halls into the world’s largest concert venues, where Salif Keita, Mory Kante and Youssou N’Dour have all achieved notoriety. Focusing on the second half of the 20th century, Frank Tenaille aims to elucidate the substance of the fabulous maelstrom of rhythms, idioms and song.
