    The document discusses Africa and its music traditions. Africa is the second largest continent, also known as the "Dark Continent" due to Europeans' lack of knowledge about it until the 19th century. Music has always been an important part of daily life in Africa, used for communication, expression, praise, worship, tradition, and entertainment. Traditional African music is largely functional for ceremonies like birth, death, marriage, succession, and worship. It features fast beats, chanting, and percussion instruments in an old style, versus popular/modern African music which features multiple instruments and a new adapted style.
