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.

Highlife musicians messages, like drama and theater scripts, not only reflect...
