For students of world music and world cultures, this authoritative handbook provides an in-depth survey of the full spectrum of black and white South African music.

What, if anything, is "South African" about the music performed in and by South Africans? This comprehensive handbook answers this question by looking at how South Africans (black and white) have used music to express a sense of place in South Africa, on the African continent, and around the world.



Drawing on extensive field and archival research, as well as her own personal experiences, noted ethnomusicologist and South African native Carol Ann Muller, explores the range of sources that make music from South Africa related to, yet so distinct from, other music from the African continent and around the world. The accompanying CD offers vivid examples of traditional, popular, and classical South African musical styles.


• A detailed exploration of South African music, organized in six chapters, written by a leading ethnomusicology scholar from South Africa, supplemented by a CD with a wide variety of authentic recordings collected by the author

• Photographs, maps, and sheet music give music students and general readers a deeper understanding of South African music, culture, and political influences

Carol A. Muller is associate professor of music (ethnomusicology) at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
