 Music of Africa - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Music of Africa
The continent of Africa is the home of thousands of different musical styles, but these divide roughly into two regional traditions: North African music, which is strongly influenced by Islam and Arab music; and the music of sub-Saharan Africa (sometimes called ‘Black Africa’), which many people consider to be ‘true’ African music.
Music is almost always a group activity with an emphasis on polyphonic forms resulting from group improvisation on short, simple themes, and cross rhythms formed by playing different rhythmic patterns together.
Much instrumental music also imitates the tone patterns of speech, and many musical instruments are able to ‘talk’: the so-called talking drums in particular are often used to communicate with one another, or to address the dancers, either praising them or giving instructions.

Those connections have taken Nunez, a leading figure in the music of Galicia (the Northern coastal area of Spain), south, to the heart of flamenco country, to North Africa, and even to Central Europe.
Following that, he looked beyond the traditional Celtic countries to find links between Galician and Cuban music - a number of Galicians emigrated to Cuba and took their music, including the pipes, with them.
Now he's become the first to explore the bonds between Galician music and flamenco rhythms, North African and Gypsy modes, first pondered by the Spanish poet Lorca.

 Amazon.com: Flamenco : Gypsy Dance and Music from Andalusia: Books: Claus Schreiner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As a work written for serious aficionados or as a contribution to flamenco scholarship, it's worse than a failure because it is not only incredibly biased, but filled with errors, some of which would bring guffaws of laughter from any knowledgeable aficionado.
The bias begins with the title: "Flamenco: Gypsy Dance and Music from Andalucia." The authors are quite obviously enamored of the Spanish gypsies - so much so that they ascribe the origin of flamenco almost entirely to them.
It is a work that succeeds at its attempt to cover all the aspects found at the heart of this rich art: song, guitar, as well as dance.

This work explores the literary and musical connections between Hispano-Arabic strophic songs of the muwashshaha-zajal genre, and their medieval Romance cognates, the ballata, cantiga, dansa, rondeau, villancico, and virelai.
The appendices provide texts and translations of ten poems that modern scholarship attributes to or authenticates as part of the Hispano-Arabic song repertory, and musical notations of these texts as sung in Arab countries today.
The authors suggest that the living tradition of Andalusian music surviving in the Arab world preserves a priceless echo, be it ever so distorted, of the lost tradition of Hispano-Arabic songs.
