Well if you wanna get heavy about it, here's a excerpt that agrees with you that Music is EVERYTHING:

"Therefore, it is also possible to say that 'be-ing' in African philosophy is based on a 'conception of the universe as a musical harmony' and that 'the dance of be-ing is an invitation to participate actively in and through the music of be-ing'. Thus the positive side of the African experience is expressed. As a reaction to this cosmic or ontological structure, dancing means for the African 'to be in tune. To dance along with be-ing is to be attuned to be-ing'. ... The idea of art in African thought, the conception of 'a universe of Pure Sound', to which 'body and soul' of human persons have to respond, the philosophy of dance could be worked out as the core discipline of a philosophical aesthetics"..

BTW, I think I understood this article to 'say' that 'the universe is music; and music & dance are one'. But alot of the comments went waaay over my head. If anybody reads this article and understands it, I'd appreciate it if you'd break it down in 'regular English' and post it here or PM me. Really. I'm serious.

Thanks!
