Music of Africa

[Nicolae Sfetcu]

An African woman, wearing native garments, performs during a visit from participants in the West Africa Training Cruise 1983.

Africa is a continent with a wide range of ethnic, cultural and lingustic diversity. A general description of African Music is not possible as there is no distinctly pan-African music, only shared forms of musical expression. Nevertheless, there are regional similarities between dissimilar groups, as well as popular trends known across the continent.
