Description ▲
Rhythmic African spirituality in sports, dance, music and art explores how African spirituality has influenced the development of African Americans' movement patterns in sports and dance. The book further attempts to explain how African spirituality determined to large extent African American's rhythmic patterns in music and art and how these patterns are arranged in harmony and balance with cosmic universal order. An argument is made about why African Americans make such beautiful movement patterns, rhythmic sounds and astonishing rhythmic colorful paintings.
