A burning wood removed from the fire quickly reduces into a smoking stick and then dies. Once returned to the fireplace, it resumes its glow and soon the flame returns. Thus it is with scholarship. A researcher needs the warmth and support of others to have an impact on the global and local scenes. PASMAE offers not just a connection at the continental level, but provides contact within the various regions of Africa as well as globally through its partnership with ISME. PASMAE provides space to build a collective ‘Africa’ voice in matters of music scholarship. It is a place to grow and glow as an academic. I know, for I have been thus groomed. I strongly recommend joining. Give it a try…??
