Research Abstract

The present project deals with both traditional and modern contexts African "sound cultures" from a sociodynamic perspective. Tsukada explored the relationships between the social tendencies toward schisms and unity and their musical representations in the Fanti society of Ghana, where Kawada developed his former hypothesis on the Monde and the Hausa complexes of "sound cultures" by investigating the origins and distributions of some sound-producing instruments in West Africa. Suzuki tried the dynamic processes of development of the modern "sound culture" of so-called Street Boys in Alidjan as a result of their incorporation of raps into their music genres. Tsuruta and Higashi both investigated the "sound culture" of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, but on the different topics : Tsuruta compared the public and private dance bands in terms of economic activity and Higashi focused on the historical aspects of the popular music genre called taarab.
