Description:

Music and Healing Across Cultures unfolds the mechanics of the relationship between music, healing, and the cosmos. It shows the organizing power of this tradition in its ability to even promote mind/body coordination in schizophrenics. This systematic, scientific approach to ethnomusicology and anthropology stands as a beacon light to those researchers who wish to make use of an ancient and wiser time when drums and restraints were preempted by creative energy and inner calm. Those incapable of feeling happiness are found dancing with joy. Those who could not speak are singing.

Music and Healing Across Cultures [ No Rating ] 7 Jul 2006
"David Akombo’s book Music and Healing Across Cultures provides an unusual and valuable look at the use of music as an invaluable, indeed indispensable, component of the healing process in traditional cultures. It shows how two widely different cultures have used music and offers tantalizing glimpses in the contemporary value of musical healing rituals in today’s society. It serves as a very valuable base for the discussion of incorporating the arts into medicine and medical practice."
