The University of Ghana in Legon, together with the Ministry of Education and Culture, hosted the Eighteenth International Conference of the International Folk Music Council. The conference was held from July 27th to August 3rd, 1966. The conference was not dedicated to the problems of traditional polyphony only. It had two main themes: (1) “The migration of folk music and its effect on musical style and context”, and (2) “Multi-part techniques in folk music and dance”. The subject of our interest is the second theme, mostly dedicated to polyphony in traditional music.
