This LP presents music performed by the Fonombele, a subsgroup of the Senufo people, in northern Ivory Coast and extending to southern Burkina Faso and Mali, during the funeral of a woman (Side A) and a man (Side B). These funeral rites last several days and are essential moments in community life when traditional culture and belief systems are reaffirmed and regenerated, as well as an occasion to strengthen a group’s social fabric and their ties with neighboring villages, other cultural/ethnic groups, and distant relatives. The diversity of those attenting the funerals in the village of Lataha in 1981-1982 is reflected in the variety of performers, including young Diula girls (A7), the music of the Mandinka hunters (B4), male and female initiates of the Poro secret societies to which the deceased belonged (A2, B3), and musicians from other villages (B4, B5). Funeral music, ceremonies, laments, dancing, and ritualized teasing –featuring xylophones, bells, drums and percussion, harps, flutes, and singing– honor the departed and celebrate life. In traditional rural Africa the primary focus is to nurture and maintain the balance of a complex network of social relations, from the extended family to the clan, the village, neighboring villages and ethnic/cultural groups, and the symbolism of the natural environment, essential to Senufo identity. The recordings were made in the village of Lataha by Michel de Lannoy during two missions in 1976 and 1981/82.

Blurred Genres is a cycle of pieces composed for the dance by Susan Foster. The pieces are all concerned with either just tuning systems or polyphony with complex (often times unpitched) timbres. Stylistically the first, third and fifth pieces are devoted to the sustained, unfolding sonorities only possible with electronic sound, while the others subject various musical conventions to stylistic abuse (R.K.).
