What is the function of music in Africa?
African music has many functions, including a way of communication and also a way of celebration. Music in Africa is used at funerals, weddings and other important celebrations throughout the year. Music is also a way of bringing communities together, as the elders of the community teach the young people how to play instruments such as djembe drums just by playing to the young people. Music is passed on through generations by people learning by ear, there is no music involved.
