Shifting and elusive, yet wonderfully powerful and structured, it is captivating, even literally entrancing. As vital as a beating heart, as soothing asa gentle rain, it accompanies men into battle and women in their work and heals suffering souls. A link between humans and the gods, it guides rituals, brings ancestors' voices to life and sends messages across great distances." From superb African instruments collected by Italians during the great age of exploration and today conserved at the Pigorini Museum, in Rome, from old travel journal and the incredible speed of modern-day communications, from the meeting of two museums working on either side of the Atlantic, this publication was born - a souvenir of the Africa Musica! exhibition - expedition.

Here is your chance to discover the unfamiliar voices of horns, drums, rattles and the African sansa. And to listen to a CD that blends birdsong with the music of the African soul. As you embark on this voyage?made up of five routes and three sidetrips - you will enter the immense, fascinating universe that is Africa, a land of legends, dance and music. A land that despite everything it has endured over the centuries knows perhaps better than any other how to celebrate life.
