Description
The first encyclopedia article attempts to overview the traditional music and dance traditions of the country. It briefly considers song texts, festivals, occasions of performance, melodic structure, and instruments, and offers musical transcriptions of some published and unpublished recordings. Although superseded by more recent work, it is invaluable for early insights by a professional ethnomusicologist.
