This book is unique. It is beautifully illustrated with simple definitions. This is an invaluable tool for all primary school music departments where African music is of interest. These should include the learning institutions of the African diaspora in addition to the schools and libraries of the great continent of Africa. Claudia Ruth Francis: Novelist & Writer.

A thoughtful and necessary book for our children. Mtume Gant: Director, writer, actor. New York City.
