David W. Ames and Anthony V. King concentrate on the kingdoms of Zaria and Katsina, but include historically noteworthy terms from other areas. This compilation not only presents a technical glossary of musical instruments and sound production but also reveals the musical life of a people and the socio-cultural context of musical performance. Consideration is given to Hausa folklore pertaining to music - proverbs, riddles, and traditional occupational jokes.Humanities Open BooksMusic / EthnicbisacshMusicMusic / EthnicMusic.King Anthony V1855540Ames David WScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910831893603321Glossary of Hausa Music and Its Social Contexts4453736UNINA
