Almost all of our jazz, rock, and pop music we listen to today has historic roots in the music of Africa. This project will help you explore the world of African music as you learn the instruments, culture, styles, and rhythms that make African music unique.
Describe characteristics of Africa, countries of Africa, culture of Africa, and the traditional instruments of Africa. I can compare the music of Africa with music of other countries and explain why the music of Africa is important in the history of popular American music.
Here are so references that you may use:
In your assignment, you will need to research on:
- Types of dances (at least 2)
- Tribes that are in the country of your choice. What type costumes do they wear. Is there a certain mask for that tribe?
- What is the language spoken in this country?
- Talk a little bit on the culture of the country you are researching. You may want to list down some fun facts about the country
- Music instruments (at least 3)
- List down a song/chant/call and response that is from the country of your choice
You will present your finding to the class. You can choose how you would like to present it. Google presentation, poster, flyer and etc.
