Covering Côte d'Ivoire, the Gambia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and beyond, the essays attest to the importance of women's contributions to the most widespread form of verbal art in Africa.MusicAfrica, WestHistory and criticismWomen musiciansAfrica, WestWest AfricansMusicMusicHistory and criticism.Women musiciansWest AfricansMusic.782.42082/0966Hale Thomas A(Thomas Albert),1942-657632Sidikou Aïssata G1625473MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814208403321Women's songs from West Africa3960947UNINA
