We are devoted to the scientific study of African music and the oral arts in Africa. We are engaged in discovering, recording, analyzing and archiving the authentic African music south of the Sahara, with the object of establishing the theory of music-making on this continent and assessing its social, cultural and artistic value in the present day and for the future. We serve as an information and co-ordination centre for research on African music, and publicize the virtues of African music and dance.
