摘要：It all started in Jerusalem. A day very much like any other for the ethno-musicologist… except that particular day he was to meet, for the first time, with Jewish Ethiopian priests. They had only recently immigrated to Israel and their liturgical chants were still, in 1986, virtually unknown. This had prompted the ethnomusicologist’s interest in this meeting. The ethnomusicologist was Simha Arom. At the time he was Research Director at the CNRS, and Head of the Ethnomusicology Department of the LACITO.1 He knew Jerusalem well because he had lived there for many years, but had acquired his reputation in Africa where he had studied many traditions, in particular the Pygmies. In other words, it was highly probable or practically inevitable that one day he would encounter African Judaism.
