With the basic research that I have done thus far, I have come to the conclusion that researching Dega music would be very interesting. Because I am a sound major, I will probably be asked to do something with either their music or the music of a similar culture. Having the information under my belt already will make my life easier in the long run. I think that the best people to interview would be either a teenager or a musician. In the best world I could talk to both. I would like to find out if the teenagers still listen to traditional music or, if not, what they do listen to. Talking to a musician I could learn their process and inspiration, including what other artists they listen to / look up to.

This is a map to help diagram my connections and my interest in the Dega Culture.
I still need to learn more about the traditional music before I can learn about the new stuff.
