Description
- Abstract:
- Koetting returned to Mayoro, several months after visiting the Mayoro chief and his musical groups in January 1975, to investigate more about music in this region by working with the Mayoro Gaabia group. He comments on the existence and importance of regional (village or town) musical styles in northern Ghana in several publications. For example, in his dissertation he remarks, "The musical strength of the village ties are evident in musicians' statements implying that the music or style of playing in their particular village is superior to that of their neighbors".
