More about the book
Exploring the rich tradition of song among the Dinka, this volume highlights the unique role of men as both singers and poets, with an emphasis on the collaborative process of song creation involving expert listeners. As traditional ox songs face decline, the influence of external music styles is transforming Dinka musical expression, now often heard in public spaces. This republished edition, originally acclaimed in 1973, includes a new Preface by the author, reflecting a commitment to preserving the oral history and culture of the Dinka people.
