Book excerpt: "The present exhibition, whose success is due to the diligence and sustained efforts of the American Federation of Arts, is one of a series of continual Franco-American cultural exchanges. Founded on a long tradition, these exchanges have been able to combine the exceptional with the revelation of remove and mysterious worlds, here in the realm of African musical instruments, which lies at the boundary between the sacred and profane, a world largely unknown, but rich and teeming in aesthetic forms and in the range of its sonorities, and which every amateur or connoisseur is invited to discover with interest and amazement." --Foreword
