Abstract

2) portrays yet another style, featuring an original composition with a solo singer accompanying himself with adungu—a traditional musical instrument originating from the Alur in northwestern Uganda. This Abayudaya community CD illustrates a musical product resulting directly from the diverse sources and influences discussed Since most of this music was performed by people with hardly any musical training, many listeners may have reservations about the artistic quality of the recorded pieces. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend the purchase and use of this CD for research and teaching purposes. James K. Makubuya Wabash College
