The Unity of Music and Dance in World Cultures

By: David Akombo

This study surveys music and dance from a global perspective, viewing them as a composite whole found in every culture. To some, music means sound and body movement. To others, dance means body movement and sound. The author examines the complementary connection between sound and movement as an element of the human experience as old as humanity itself. Music and dance from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the South Pacific are discussed.

Music and Healing Across Cultures

By: David Akombo

Music and Healing Across Cultures unfolds the mechanics of the relationship between music, healing, and the cosmos. It shows the organizing power of this tradition in its ability to even promote mind/body coordination in schizophrenics. This systematic, scientific approach to ethnomusicology and anthropology stands as a beacon light to those researchers who wish to make use of an ancient and wiser time when drums and restraints were preempted by creative energy and inner calm. Those incapable of feeling happiness are found dancing with joy. Those who could not speak are singing.

By: David O. Akombo,Baruti I. Katembo,Kmt G. Shockley

As a focus point, the book posits and explains the need and rationale for Africa and its Diaspora to become reciprocal resources for each other.

Tribes Without Rulers

Studies in African Segmentary Systems

By: John Middleton,David Tait

Recent research in Africa has shown a wide range of political systems, from small societies of wandering hunters to large states of several million people comparable with mediaeval European feudal kingdoms. In between are many societies in which a central government is lacking; the political system is based upon a balance of power between many small groups, which with their lack of classes or specialized political offices, have been called 'ordered anarchies'. First published in 1958.

Music and Medicine

Connections Found

By: David Akombo

A groundbreaking interdisciplinary research concerned with the connections of two distant fields: music and medicine. It is well recognized that pain and anxiety can affect the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and balance. The interaction between feeling states, immunity and autonomic function has been demonstrated by a number of studies showing that emotions such as pain perception and anxiety stimulate sympathetic activity, increase cortisol ration and suppress the immune system, while positive emotional states such as appreciation from such stimuli as music, enhance parasympathetic activity, increase physiological coherence, and reduce the cortisol ration while boosting immunity."--P. [4] of cover.
