Music in East Africa: Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture
Another in the Global Music series. This concentrates on music traditions in three countries, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. Of all the books, this was the music I was least familiar with, so it was interesting to learn about. There are many different types of music, and the CD selections were fairly extensive.
