- W2023251169 abstract "Joshua Uzoigwe and Meki Nzewi are distinguished African musicians from Nigeria. A trained ethnomusicologist, pianist, and drummer, Uzoigwe is widely regarded as a leading exponent of art music in Nigeria. This study of ukom originated in a PhD thesis presented to the Queen's University of Belfast, and is his most extended ethnomusicologi? cal publication to date. Nzewi is a multitalented artist and intellectual. Composer, master drummer, dramatist, choreographer, and ethnomusi? cologist, he is also active as a creative writer.

This new book is neither his most ambitious nor his most extensive (there are pedagogical works awaiting publication, an earlier volume on musical practice and creativity, and another on Ese music?see list of publications on p. 94 of the present work). Nevertheless, it represents his most direct, comprehensive, and provocative statement about African music scholarship and creativity. Providing joint notice of these publications in this journal should not imply the existence of deeper parallels. It is true that both musicians stud? ied with the legendary John Blacking in Belfast, that they have made their professional careers on the African continent, and that, like others in var? ious African universities, they have had to wear many hats in order to meet local demands for training students in music. There is a less elevated rea? son for this joint notice, however. Uzoigwe's book, published in Nigeria, would have remained unknown in North America had the author not" @default.
