The music and dance traditions of Ghana's four main ethnic groups are covered comprehensively in this book. It discusses concepts of music, dance and performance in general, and also goes into cultural perspectives, performance practices and the form and structure of 22 musical types or dance drumming ceremonies. As a guide to multicultural education, it provides teaching methods and components of curriculum development. Numerous photographs, maps, and musical scores generously illustrate the book.

Paschal Yao Younge is an associate professor of multicultural music education and the director of the Annual International Summer Program in African Interdisciplinary Arts and co-artistic director of the African Ensemble at Ohio University. He is also a multi-talented, award-winning musician.
