Music and Dance Fires off Brain Neurons

Professor Akombo piqued my personal interest in brain research. He rattled of studies showing the effectiveness of African song and dance in stimulating the brain for learning in other areas. I believed it stimulated the audience because after the music/dance activity, the audience participated in deep discussions about African culture/music, patterns, and the influence of external cultures on African music.
