Under "cultural functions", is it appropriate to mention Santeria and "Voodoo" (which is not the spelling of the name of the actual religion, just for starters)? These are African Diaspora religions and it seems like their cultural hallmarks should be discussed in their articles, not here. --Parcequilfaut 16:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

African dance

I will expand the article with some of that material. Has that book been translated into english? Would be worth doing! Nannus 16:56, 9 July 2006 (UTC) I have rplaced the Reference to[reply]

Kubik, Gerhard: Einführung in das Studium von Musik und Tanz in Afrika (1988). In Gerhard Kubik: Zum verstehen Afrikanischer Musik, Verlag Philipp Reclam jun. Leipzig 1988.

Relationship of African dance and African music

I have added something on the relationship of African dance and African music in the African Music article and also some basic insights on the topic in the talk page of that article (Talk:Music of Africa).
