African Music
It is difficult to imagine what popular music would look like today had Africa and its diversity of music never existed. You would be hard pressed to find an artist, band or song on the pop, rock or blues charts that has not, in some way, been influenced by the fundamental elements of African music.
If you are planning on travelling to Africa and want to be better informed about its drumming and dance; if you want to read about Fela Kuti's impact on the global music arena or if you simply want to know more about where the blues came from, then you have landed yourself right where you need to be.
