Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: The seminar deals with what is often – misleadingly – termed "traditional" music. It will discuss some differences between European and sub-Saharan African music, including certain aspects of instrumentation, rhythm and tone. It will locate music in its human context, dealing with the position of musicians in society, the role of dance and the significance of music for social identity. We will also look at the complex relationship between "African" and "world" music.
