	African Drumming - dancedrummer.com - Anlo-Ewe Music at Funerals
		Interest in Anlo-Ewe music led me to Anlo-Ewe funerals which I have found to be a traditional time and place of learning as well as mourning, reunion and celebration.
		Before relating my experiences with music at Anlo-Ewe funerals I feel the need to describe them in general.2 In the old tradition after a person died the family and other community members who planned the funeral would have to work quickly.
		This is one of the methods through which the tradition of this music is passed on from generation to generation and funerals are the venue.

	Research on Cognition in Ethnomusicology
		Their apocryphal story of a musical idiot savant who could play anything at the piano after one hearing, but never with expression, belies their argument that inquiring into music cognition out of social context is "fruitless" and reveals their definition of "music" to be limited to its most expressive possible performance.
		A "music timespace" is a musical concept, a piece or passage of music that has an identity of its own as evidenced by the existence of multiple instances of it in the world, be they multiple manuscripts of the same composition or variant performances of a piece in oral tradition.
		Approaches epistemological problems surrounding speech and music as a language puzzle [influenced by later Wittgenstein?], seeking to examine assumptions underlying talk about music and to arrive at "criteria for judgment in the formation of a comprehensive theory in whose terms orderly discussion of the case may be conducted" (16).

	Ewe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This situation of separate and individual existence on the part of the EWE states was to be ended by the imposition of colonial rule towards the end of the nineteenth century.
		Dance and music interludes are interwoven with short skits that focus on the challenges of modern life (often the issues between men and women in particular).
		Ewe weavers utilise an almost identical form of the narrow-strip loom to that of the Asante, and there is considerable evidence to suggest mutual influence between the weavers of the two traditions, as might be expected from the long history of contacts, both through trade and conquest between their peoples.

	Ruth Charloff - Imported Authenticity
		His own explanation for African music's efficacy in altering states of consciousness was that, with the variety of rhythms clashing with one another simultaneously, the conscious mind cannot grasp them all.
		They admitted that their own understanding of Ewe music was undoubtedly different from that of an Ewe, and that the music itself was no doubt also changing in their hands.
		Remember here that their explanation for the music's effect on them is not, as MacCannell would have it, that they are in the presence of someone else's authentic experience; rather, they see the music's efficacy as inherent to the music itself, and available to all.
