Research Abstract |
Africa is the continent where the sound cultures have abundantly developed and inherited. To cover the rich African sound inheritance, such as oral traditions, instrumental sounds including the drum language, rhythmical body performances cadenced by songs and sounds, the notion of music, conceived and elaborated in the Modern Europe is too restricted; that is why in our project we have used the term sound cultures. Many of these African sound cultures have been registered by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Inheritances, but they are not sufficient, and we must continue to investigate on the place, especially in connection to the local community which supports these precious inheritances. Different from materialized tangible inheritances, for an intangible one, the role of the living local community is vital. On this subject, we carried field researches in West Africa (Burkina Faso and Guinea), Central Africa (Cameroon) and East Africa (Ethiopia and Tanzania). Based always on the first hand materials, we tried to clarify the social problems for the succession of intangible cultural inheritances. As the head investigator, J. Kawada, has worked for many years as an expert of UNESCO, we wish to present our research results to UNESCO for a better understanding of the problems raised by the local community.
