Language: French

"Communicating here, over there and beyond..." is the undertitle of this amazing, fascinating work. Unlike many other books, Traditional Musics of the World achieves its goal and does not lead the reader to a deadlock.
Designed with the clarity and open-mindedness peculiar to LUGDIVINE publishing, Patrick Kersalé's collection provides a considerable amount of information on orallly transmitted, musical traditions.

Abundantly illustrated with 80 drawings and 200 photos, texts and annotations make Traditional Musics of the World a very serious work, offering a new, personal way of considering its subject. Accompanied with nothing less than 100 CD-tracks, that is, 2h30 of music to listen to, the book consists of three great chapters:
- Comunicating here
- Comunicating over there
- Comunicating beyond

The author produced a convenient tool here, that enables a quick access to information, thanks to thematical keys and cross-reference.
Aimed at a wide readership (students, teachers, musicians, music enthusiasts), this remarkable work is a unique multimedia tool which leads you in a travel throughout all 5 continents.
