Akwaba Cultural Exchange presents:
Music in African Life
: the role of traditional music in Africa
Jean Assamoa will share the omnipresence of music
in African life that gives a boost in activities
such as farming, fishing, hunting.Traditional music
has always been a lively example of cultural heritage
of Africa. We found its roots in century old customs,
rituals and ideas. Music summerizes the spirit of
the ancestors, it supports the rendering of oral
histories, stories, poetry, family trees, proverbs
and legends.
