Grant Description

The None are a small ethnic group living in the city and region of Thies.

Urbanization and modern music and instruments have eroded the practice and performance of traditional music, and the remaining practitioners are few in number.

This project includes the transcription of traditional None songs and the documentation of the process of making musical instruments.
