This research project explores how podcasting can function as a method of ethnomusicological documentation, with a focus on the Afroloops series developed through the International Library of African Music.

Situated at the intersection of media studies and ethnomusicology, the project examines how digital audio practices enable new forms of engaging with archival materials, oral histories, and indigenous musical knowledge. Key to the study is its multilingual approach, which positions language as both a methodological tool and a means of expanding access.

By working across languages, the project seeks to bridge the gap between institutional archives and broader communities, reactivating sound as a living, participatory form of knowledge.

My research explores how African marimba music may be taught more effectively by combining traditional oral pedagogy with structured audio-visual tools.

It investigates how recordings, visual guides, and practice-based methods can support both teachers and students, using a practice-led, multi-method approach within real teaching environments.

The study aims to preserve indigenous musical knowledge while improving accessibility, consistency, and scalability. Ultimately, it positions audio-visual resources as a bridge between cultural tradition and contemporary education
