It has been said that all Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we probably think that all Africans are musicians. The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators（观众）. Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers （斲丧者）rather than producers of music. We have recorders, TV, concerts and radio to meet many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it’s not difficult to tell the spectators from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Ablan Ayipaga, a Kasena musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute （笛子）and drum group is performing , “Anybody can take part..” This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally able to take part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers, but few can drum and even fewer can play the flute with the group. It’s fairly common in Africa for there to be a group of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound. Performances often take place in an open area ( that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing actors and the additional performers, active spectators and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view.作文网高中
