[Dr. Fred Onovwerosuoke]

Dr. Fred Onovwerosuoke of African Musical Arts, Inc. tells AfriClassical there is “Much going on, Bill.” His current news, he says, “...is the much-awaited publication of my Twenty-Four Studies in African Rhythms - Volume II, announced on the American Composers Forum website and available through the African Music Publishers. Other news going to press this week is the Artist Roster for the 2010/2011 Season of our Intercultural Music Initiative.” "FredO," as friends call him, promises more details on this and other activities in the near future.
