Savannah grasslands in the south and central part of the country. This album samples each of the three major cultural regions: Voltaic in the central and east; Mande in the west and southwest; and the nomadic Fulani to the north. African music is rarely played for its own sake; an African musician plays "with" people, not "for" them. Music plays an integral role in the celebration of life's many rituals and accompanies everyday activities. Music is extremely important to the agricultural cycle with field cultivation, harvest and winnowing of millet performed to the rhythm of the drums  . African life and music are one". KATHLEEN JOHNSON, 1981.
