The Power of Black Music: Interpreting Its History from Africa to the United States Paperback - 1996
by Samuel A. Floyd
First line
In spite of the quite apparent importance of African religion to the understanding of African ritual and its musical derivatives, music scholars have neglected to pay significant attention to it.
From the rear cover
Bold and original, 'The Power of Black Music' offers a new way of listening to the music of black America and appreciating its profound contribution to all American music. Striving to break down the barriers that remain between high art and low art, it brilliantly illuminates the centuries-old linkage between the music, myths, and rituals of Africa and the continuing evolution and enduring vitality of African-American music.
