Description (Excerpt)
“This book discusses the concept of
multifaceted musicality in post-colonial Nigeria. It shows how
musical synthesis actually began with intra-cultural practices from
pre-colonial Africa to the nineteenth century when modern
intercultural music developed from foreign imprints emanating from
colonization, the Islamic conquest, and the Christian missionary
exertion.”
Amazon.com Customer Review by Mickey Thomas Terry (Excerpt)
"Nigerian Organist and composer Ayo Bankole (1935-1976) is the focus of a fine scholarly study by Godwin Sadoh. It is the second of two by this author that features Nigerian/African organist-composers. The first concerns Fela Sowande. Both works highlight the intercultural aspects of their respective creative process. As is the case with the first publication, Intercultural Dimensions in Ayo Bankole's Music constitutes a substantive contribution to the field of African musical scholarship."
