Originally posted by Joseph K View PostI'm aware of that. I thought perhaps it's much too vague - and stupid to lump all the musics together, though I'm not sure if it's racist in and of itself.

Originally posted by Bella Kemp View PostIt's a tricky area but I think it comes under the banner of 'they're all the same.' We readily distinguish between German culture and French culture etc etc. but when it comes to Africa we make no such distinctions - apart from, perhaps, a vague nod towards Mali.
However, there might be some contexts in which it might be suitable to refer to someone or something as coming from a particular continent, don't you think? I mean there is the African Music Journal as well - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Music_(journal)
