A Non-Governmental Organization in Formal Consultative Relations with UNESCO
The key function of the African Musics Study Group (AMSG) is to research, promote, preserve disseminate and pro- tect African musics and dance in all their aspects, functions and geographi- cal locations, in Africa and in the dias- pora; with a particular emphasis on indigenous/traditional African musics in sub-Saharan and diasporic Africa.
The African Musics Study Group is pleased to invite submissions for its weblog, which, along with the mailing list, serves as a central communication site for members. Any items of interest to members of the Study Group, including conference announcements, calls for abstracts, events, descriptions of research or publications, and similar newsworthy items, can be sent to the webmaster, Alvin Petersen, at alvin.petersen@nwu.ac.za, and/or posted directly to the mailing list (see below).
