African music plays a particularly important role and the interest that it can rouse is extraordinary: the wide attention to cultured music in today’s Africa is surprising, just like the bringing to light of real dichotomies between different parts of the continent, between the countryside and the city, collective and individual sense, tradition and modernity, authenticity and irrelevance.
At Italian Institute of Culture
