Welcome to "Ethical Access to Music Time in Africa," a music access project supported by the National Endowment of the Humanities. Log in with your U-M uniqname to listen to media.

The purpose of the project (2016-2018) is to provide audiences in Africa, the United States, and the wider world with first-time online access to nearly 1,000 Music Time in Africa radio broadcasts originally beamed to Africa by the Voice of America. For decades starting in the mid-1960s, the broadcasts featured excerpts from hundreds of hours of original field recordings of traditional and popular African music recorded by musicologist Leo Sarkisian.
