Abstract
This article investigates the role of music in Africa. The study is primarily motivated by the fact
that music plays an indispensable role in the being of Africans at work, in politics, in their socioeconomic
engagements, in religious worship, integral development, in their moral life, etc. The primary
objective therefore is to ascertain the influence of music with regard to the integral development
of the Africans and the overall acknowledgment of this indispensable role on the active
and meaningful behavior of Africans. Using the methods of phenomenology and analysis, the findings
reveal that Africans are music lovers and that music features as an indispensable handmaid of
any meaningful behavior and sustainability of the being of any African person whether young or
old.
