I am also interested in African music, although not necessarily political
music. I would like to discuss the rhythmic basis that pervades all of
African music. How does rhythm associate with a given tribe or
geographic area. How much cross-polination occurred or occurs now?
I am pretty ignorant in those areas so it's hard to even formulate
intelligent sounding questions, so please bear with me.
