The African songs here are written using European notation, and we should understand that songs cannot be written as authentically as the music is played in its original form.
African music does not implement temporality or major or minor chords. Therefore, the sheet music for African songs here is like a rough draft of the original music. You won't be able to play an African song by the sheet music alone. This is true for jazz and the blues, and it is just as true for African folk music. African music always assumes improvisation, adding variations and syncopation.
Its main task is not to be reproduced, but to get everyone involved, since music, by definition, is the expression of emotional states with the help of sounds of a certain frequency and rhythm.
This book was written for keyboard, but remember that traditional African music never involved or included a piano or other keyboard instrument.

An indication of the country of origin of the song is an approximation because many traditional cultures cross current national borders. The language in which the song is sung is more important, and it can be used in various countries. Most songs have been simplified for beginners and letter names have been added under the musical notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing.
Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, we recommend using this sheet music only as a guide.
