In what ways does Thomas Mapfumo's life story narrative affirm the generalizations made in the beginning of the chapter about the characteristics of African music?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
Answers will vary.
• In his youth, Mapfumo played rock music from Britain and the United States, which shows that Africa is not isolated, and that Africans play music which originated elsewhere.
• The Chimurenga style shows respect of tradition while also being dynamic and contemporary.
• The music has deep meaning that connects to important features of history and the present-day situation.
