Afrikanische Musik in den Massenmedien

– ein Weg zur Popularisierung?

  1. Music ethnologists should set themselves the task of spreading and contributing to the knowledge of African music.
  2. On the college level, non-European music should be examined, in order to prepare prospective music teachers, who will pass this knowledge on to their students.
  3. Television stations should not exclude popularizing non-European music and especially African music. Suitable programs should be prepared and broadcast.
  4. It is an urgent requisite that appropriate broadcasting time be set aside for African music on radio and television. This broadcasting time should be firmly set in the broadcasting station's plan.
