Publishers Enterprises Group (PEG) Ltd of San Gwann have recently published Daqq, Ghana u Zfin Malti, by Anna Borg Cardona.

Every nation has its own musical voice, a particular tonal array made evident by its people’s music, folk songs and typical musical instruments. In this respect, Malta, on a par with other countries, possesses its own musical traditions and voice.

Daqq, Ghana u Zfin Malti was written with the aim of encouraging young Maltese people to keep the country’s musical traditions alive. By providing information about Maltese folk songs, local folk musicians and instruments and traditional dances, the author sets out to raise the necessary interest and enthusiasm needed for the preservation and further evolution of Malta’s rich musical and cultural heritage.

Anna Borg Cardona specialises in musicology and musical theory and practice, and is a keen researcher of all aspects of Maltese musical history. She has published numerous articles in local and foreign journals and is the author of A Musical Legacy: Malta-related music found in Foreign Libraries and Doqqli Daqqa.

Written in Maltese, Daqq, Ghana u Zfin Malti is available from all leading bookshops.
