About This Item
Eigen beheer, 2005. Paperback ed., 692 pp. Geill., 20,3 x 29,4 x 3,9 cm. Some light traces of use on the cover. ISBN 9090162623. Jacoba (Cootje) van Oven was a music teacher and musicologist, was born in 1920 in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. In 1960, she became a music teacher in Freetown, Sierra Leone. There she was struck by the indigenous music traditions and decided to spend her weekends and holidays to record and describe local music styles, songs and instruments. This she continued to do until 1978 and all in all she collected a corpus of some 450 songs. She published several educational books on this material for local use, as it was always her intention that what she collected and researched should be handed back to the local populations. Her recorded material offers a unique and detailed view of Sierra Leone's musical history in the 1960s and 1970s. Van Oven was the author of what remains the authoritative book on Sierra Leonean music, 'An Introduction to the Music of Sierra Leone', published in 1981.
