African Music Pages - A introduction to African Guitar A brief introduction to African Guitar The guitar was introduced into Africa by Portuguese sailors in the early 14th century. Africa had already a tradition of fretted stringed instruments, the most notably of which is the Kora. African guitar playing had it's roots in the traditional instruments and and their instrumental techniques. Of course, being such a vast continent of over 50 countries, Africa supports a diverse range of musical styles, so obviously there is no single definitive type of African guitar music, like there is no single definitive European music.
