The Thrill of African Music

The African cultures have a passionate appreciation for music and its various rhythms. Through the advent of the internet, its hoped that the influence of the rhythm and pace of the music of some cultures of West Africa in particular on the music world would be appreciated even more.

Indigenous African musical and dance expressions are maintained by oral tradition and are stylistically distinct from the music and dance of both the Arabic cultures of North Africa and the Western settler populations of southern Africa. African music and dance, therefore, are cultivated largely by societies in sub-Saharan Africa.

With urbanization and the impact of Western culture, traditional music and dance, although still practiced, have decreased.

Traditional music and dance face serious threat of decline. Because of their political and cultural importance, however, their preservation is given special attention in many countries.
