- Summary
- Musicologist Andrew Tracy briefly discusses African rhythms and demonstrates how each of the 12 beats sounds. He then illustrates the role of music in African storytelling by having children clap and chant responses as he relates an African folktale. A husband and rabbit enchant a lion with music and change the hunting beast into "the dancing lion." See also: Mapandagare.
