African Presences I
MUSC 265Z
Summer 2023
Section: 01  

One of the assets of Africa's music scene is its vast plurality. Traditional music conceived, developed, and performed in Africa over many centuries coexists and interacts with contemporary art and popular music. Through readings, classroom discussions, listening, viewing, and practical performances, this course will examine some selected musical traditions linked geographically and historically to various areas of Africa. The course highlights several themes: structure and style; interconnection of traditional, popular, and art music forms; circulation of African music; and music's role in shaping African identities in the globalized world.
