The traditional music of Africa, given the vastness of the continent, is historically ancient, rich and diverse, with different regions and nationsof Africa having many distinct musical traditions. Music in Africa is very important when it comes to religion. Songs and music are used in rituals and religious ceremonies, to pass down stories from generation to generation, as well as to sing and dance to.


Traditional music in most of the continent is passed down orally (or aurally) and is not written. In Sub-Saharan African music traditions, it frequently relies on percussion instruments of every variety, including xylophones, djembes, drums, and tone-producing instruments such as the mbira or "thumb piano."[1][

African masks themselves are some of the most fascinating works in all of human history.  They represent a humanistic searching for the world of spirits, yet each tribe shares unique distinctive qualities.  The majority of African masks are wood, and mask usage is clearly tied to areas where wood is available. The African believed the tree possessed a living spirit and he needed a diviner to conduct purification ceremonies and sacrifices to appease the spirit of the tree and ask it to transfer itself into the mask which would also increase the power of the mask.  Often, the carver`s preparations included "fasting, purification, and abstention from sexual intercourse" (Tribal 14).  There are symbolic meanings to the type of wood used and to specific trees.
