Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book studies African musical instruments, drawing connections between them and the continent's diverse cultures, history, and geography. The author, an established ethnographer, embarked on three expeditions to Africa in the late 19th century, with the primary goal of documenting the continent's musical traditions. The book includes detailed descriptions and classifications of hundreds of African instruments, primarily drawn from the author's research trips and supplemented with material from the Berlin Museum of Ethnology's substantial African instrument collection. The author arranges the instruments into distinct groups according to the materials used in their construction, their construction methods, and their playing techniques. From the humble musical bow to the intricately designed harps and xylophones, this book highlights how African musical instruments embody a vast repository of cultural and historical knowledge, offering valuable insights into the traditions, craftsmanship, and creativity of Africa's peoples.
