"Here in a single paperback volume is a comprehensive set of essays, written by the leading scholars in the field, that explores all aspects of African music. This handbook provides an introduction to the continent and its many musical forms, including a discussion of issues and processes in the study of African music and a number of regional case studies covering North, West, East, Central, and Southern Africa. Popular music in this region is also a focus.
