The use of metaphor and certain scale patterns in traditional music of Botswana
Abstract
- Abstract
- Three salient characteristics observed in recorded music in Botswana have been of particular interest to me during four years of music research in this country — carried out in the Kgatleng, Kweneng and Kgalagadi Districts. These are (1) the use of metaphor in the initiation song, (2) the appearance of the five-tone scale in Tswana traditional songs and (3) the presence of the four-tone scale in Basarwa (Bushman) songs and some of their instrumental music.
