African Music Quotes

“There is an instrument that can hardly be heard; it is played in Africa for oneself alone, inside the hut, or outside without
bothering or attracting anyone. Rudimentary, archaic, apparently put together haphazardly, freely, by the village
blacksmith, the sanzas (that is its name): no two the same, no good even for a slightly elaborated melody, it is independent
of any scale.

Anarchical. A music of murmurs, the opposite of music for competitions, compositions. Instrument to relieve us dreamily
from all the noisemakers of this world.”
― Henri Michaux

“Kalpop isn’t just a genre; it’s the pulse of Africa’s heartbeat, a hymn to our past, and a vision for our future.”
― Don Santo, Klassik Era: The Genesis
