From ancient kingdoms to an amazing global cultural dominance, "The Story of West African Music, and How It Conquered the World," traces the epic journey of African sounds. This book means that anyone who is interested or has even taken an ancestry DNA test, can learn about their ancestral African music and dance, country by country, anywhere from Goree Island to Cape Town. They can also learn how the music has travelled back to Africa from the America's and the Caribbean, and what that has meant in each modern African country. Readers will learn how young Africans today are now combining all this heritage with digital technology to make millions of dollars. Richly historical and ethnomusicological, it celebrates African musical genius as humanity’s most influential cultural force, inspiring pride, unity, and hope across generations. #BlackMusicMatters
