Accomplished Malian and Senegalese musician and intellectual Dr. Pascal Bokar Thiam decolonizes the vast musical histories of the African continent with indigenous and Africa-centered perspectives of their enduring cultural, political, and economic relevance... In the tradition of scholar/musicians like free jazz pioneer and author George E. Lewis, Dr. Thiam's work not only offers a decolonizing insider perspective, but it swings with the power of a work written from the heart and soul. - Nicholas Baham III, Ph.D. Professor & Chair, Department of Ethnic Studies, Cal State East Bay, CA
