About This Tool
Africa is unique in many ways because of its long isolation and difficult environment, and its music has its own unique personality. One scholar’s point of view is that African music is another area in which Africa contributes to world civilization and entertainment and that Africans are known to be music lovers. Music, scholars say, guides Africa’s moral, religious and overall development.
In these lists of eminent African musicologists, randomly generated by the generator tool, they have studied various types of African music and attempted to establish the foundations of African morality and explore the role of African society, what determines whether an action is right or wrong and whether there is a link between music and morality. If you’re curious about their research, take a closer look at the scholars' personal information.
