非洲多节奏鼓乐长期以来一直令民族音乐学家着迷。特别是,西非几内亚海岸南部眼语民族的舞蹈鼓乐一直是多项长期研究的主题(Jones 1959;Pantaleoni 1972a)l,其表演已在美国许多学校教授。2但是,尽管这种音乐已得到充分研究,但其基本节奏原则的连贯系统尚未形成。事实上,它的一些最基本的概念仍然是激烈争论的主题。本文提出了一系列关于节奏的概念,有助于解释南夏娃鼓乐中另类节奏和交叉节奏的复杂性。3我的想法是在多年对非洲音乐和舞蹈表演的研究中逐渐形成的。4虽然夏娃音乐家不会以这种方式谈论他们的音乐,但在我看来,这些概念与南夏娃鼓乐的感觉是一致的。
African polyrhythmic drumming has long fascinated ethnomusicologists. In particular, the dance drumming of the southern Eyespeaking people of the Guinea Coast of West Africa has been the subject of several lengthy studies (Jones 1959; Pantaleoni 1972a)l and its performance has been taught in many schools in the United States.2 But although this music has been well studied, a coherent system of its basic rhythmic principles has yet to be developed. Indeed, some of its most fundamental concepts are still the subject of vigorous debate. This article presents a series of concepts about rhythm that help explain the complexities of offbeat timing and cross-rhythm in southern Eve dance drumming.3 My ideas have been gradually developed during many years of study of African music and dance performance4 While Eve musicians do not talk about their music in this manner, these concepts are, in my opinion, consonant with the feeling of southern Eve drumming.
