African traditional music is a vibrant and diverse art form that continues to thrive in various parts of the continent. Traditional music reflects the rich cultural tapestry of Africa's numerous ethnic groups and communities. This music has been passed down through generations, preserving history, storytelling, and spiritual beliefs.
