Research Abstract

To study African sound cultures from the dynamic point of view on the "tradition", we can recognize two levels: the macroscopic and the microscopic levels. The first implies the research in the wide perspective of comparative study of culture history, investigating the possible cause and result relations between several elements, as well as the diffusion of these elements. The second level consists of the study on the formation and the transformation of certain sound culture phenomena of relatively short time range, based on the actual historical facts that can be determined by detailed dates of relevant social and political events. On this level of research, political and thus intentional actions on sound cultures, in particular on national levels after the independence of new African nations.
The research carried out by J. Kawada, on the relationship between the sound culture and the formation and the transformation of the historical cognition and representation, can be considered as … More an example of the first level. Kawada focussed on the vocal performing arts of "praising" a person with his genealogy, elaborated and largely practiced in certain West African societies; it contributed much to evoke the historical consciousness not only in the person in question, but also in the audience. The researches carried out by another members of the project are on the second level. K. Tsukada made a detailed study on the formation and the transformation of the Fanti (Ghana) court music, in relation to the cultural policy of Ghanean government just after the independence, in particular under the leadership of President N'Kurumah. H. Suzuki studied the dynamic aspects of popular music in Guinea, which was much used as an important means to evoke the national sentiment in this new nation. K. Ikeya's research focused on the detailed investigations on the songs accompanied by the finger piano, their performing techniques and the verbal contents, the first and precious analysis of this sort.
