Topics in World Music Cultures
Ghana
Term: Summer
Dates: Summer, 2008
Description:
In this course, we will investigate music as culture. We will study defining perspectives in the discipline of ethnomusicology and experience immersion in four distinct Ghanaian cultural groups: Dagara, Ewe, Ga, and Dagomba, to explore the range of ways that humans create and use both music and dance.
Highlights:
Students are immersed in a contemporary African context from the perspective of the arts. In order to experience the vitality of the West African spirit, participants study the music, dance and culture of Ghana.
