Book Synopsis Asante Ivory Trumpet Music in Ghana: Culture Tradition and Sound Barrage by : Joseph S. Kaminski
Book excerpt: Based on the author's fieldwork in Ghana with the Asante and Denkyira ivory trumpeters, this book draws on interviews, field recordings, oral traditions, written accounts, archaeological evidence, transcriptions and linguistic analyses to situate the Asante trumpet tradition in historical culture. There are seven ntahera trumpet ensembles in residence at the Asante Manhyia Palace in Kumase, and ntahera trumpets are blown at every Akan court.
