From the publisher's introduction: The growing international thirst for authentic music, arts and dance has made it apparent that there is a large gap in the accessible knowledge base on traditional Southern African music. The Drum Café, which originated in South Africa has embarked on a range of projects aimed at preserving and protecting the South African heritage. As part of this initiative, this book aims to bring the story of traditional South African music to a wider audience.
