On the subject of Mozart etc ...

The european musical tradition has focussed more on harmony . The African musical tradition focussed more on rhythm.

There has never been anything in Europe to rival the complex syncopation and polyrhythms of Africa.

I would love to take any BNP mozart fan to the Gambia and watch them try to conceptualize and learn the complexity of their music.

Then we would travel down the west coast of Africa through Ghana and Nigeria on our way to South Africa to discover that the depth and variety of subsaharan african music is endless - and not something that Mozart ever conceived of.

But being ignorant, "the doc" wouldn't have a clue about that.
