Your redirect would seem to say that the only composers of African descent are all Americans! "African American" is not the same as "of African descent". The world is a very big place, and Africa is a very big place of its own, with composers of its own ... - David Gerard 11:15, Jan 17, 2004 (UTC)

First, if a composer was born and lived in African, I think it would be misleading to call this composer "of African descent" because this person is just "African". I invite you to make List of African composers. Secondly, you're right, and I just got around to changing the intro to reflect the pagemove, and am now able to add what I was originally going to title "Composers of the African diaspora", such as Samuel-Coleridge Taylor, of England.Hyacinth 04:33, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Heh, that could have potential indeed! - David Gerard 14:17, Jan 20, 2004 (UTC)
