ResumoClick to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes 1. I am probably more widely known for my work as a radio presenter on BBC Radio 3. However, although my training as an ethnomusicologist has been invaluable, I do not on the whole think of my radio programmes as constituting original research output, except for Durán 2007. 2. Segu is the official Malian Ministry of Education Bamana spelling, while Segou is the French spelling that is still widely used on maps and in literature, since French is Mali's official language. To distinguish between the pre-colonial Segu and colonial and post-independence names (e.g. Segou), I retain these two forms of spelling. See Conrad (1990) for a full-length line-by-line transcription of a recitation of the epic of Bamana Segu. 3.
