Highlife Music in West Africa
ISBN: 9789788422082 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Highlife Music in West Africa is an excursion into the origins and development of an extraordinary music form.

Critics treat highlife as a popular music genre, but this fails to acknowledge the role that the lyrics of highlife music played in the search for political, economic, and national growth and stability in Africa. Highlife musicians messages, like drama and theater scripts, not only reflect...
