Explain how the beliefs and attitudes of Africans about their music can result in “intercultural misunderstanding” for a “scientifically minded person” from a “concert-music-culture.”
What will be an ideal response?
• A person from a concert-music-culture (most Westerners) is used to thinking of music as an event separate from daily life and often created as art for art's sake. Such a person might plan to attend concerts of art music performed by musicians who may have had years of specialized conservatory training. An African going about his daily life, on the other hand, may make musical sounds with his community that are the voices of his ancestors.
