The art of music. The representation of musical instruments in the rock art of Zimbabwe.
Azania January 1, 2025 Joshua Kumbani, Margarita Díaz-Andreu 1 citation
Musical instruments depicted at rock art sites in Zimbabwe have received little systematic study. This article compiles and classifies such motifs from publications and the SARADA archive, then examines whether they are linked to altered states of consciousness. It also explores possible connections between gender and music, and comments on regional differences in how instruments are portrayed.
