Abstract This bibliography deals with African Native music, but its scope is confined to the Negro and Bantu cultures, roughly south of the Sahara. The entries are arranged geographically; some tribes have for this purpose been arbitrarily split up, although no more arbitrarily than in political reality. Searchers after the music of particular tribes are advised not to neglect the general sections, where comprehensive entries relating to many parts of the continent have been placed. In default of any standard guide to tribal nomenclature, except in the Belgan Congo, the best known names have been preferred in the annotations.
