I would recommend this to anyone almost anyone who participates in partner dance or plays music. It was fascinated but sometimes required familiarity with artists that I lacked. I found my self stopping to listen to the songs mentioned by the author. Even though it was academic and I, not the intended audience, baraka makes so many compeling connection that it was an intelectual joy all the same.
