Revolution's Echoes : Music, Politics, and Pleasure In Guinea.

Dave, Nomi.

Univ. Chicago Press  ©2019

The author introduces readers to the music supporting the authoritarian regime of former Guinean president Sékou Touré, and the musicians who, even long after his death, have continued to praise dictators and avoid dissent. Dave shows that this isn’t just the result of state manipulation; even in the absence of coercion, musicians and their audiences take real pleasure in musical praise of leaders.
