Abstract

Some years ago I gave an interview to a German broadcaster who was collecting information on African composers, with a view to doing some radio programs. His interest in their music was prompted by the release of the Kronos Quartet CD, Pieces of Africa, before which this broadcaster admitted he knew nothing about neo-African art music. As he described it to me, after listening to the CD, the broadcaster said to himself, "Surely this cannot be all . . . ," and so he decided to find out more about this music. The search eventually led him to Ghana where he made a 45-minute television documentary on Ghanaian composers, which was broadcast in Berlin.
