This paper, an exercise in speculative music theory, studies two African cyclical structures of very different origins and hypothesizes deep structural connections between them. Rhythm and grouping, and the idea of directed compositional process—specifically, the process of transpositi on—are considered.  I depart from a hunch that the cycles, even with d ifferent numbers of pulsations or available pitch-classes, can be shown to be based on compelling principles of equivalence.

The analysis juxtaposes the Zimbabwean mbira dzavadzimu tradition’s Nh ema Musasa (kushaura part only) and the recording of  Hindehu from the Central African Republic (Arom 1998). The presentation moves step-by-step from one piece to the other, using transfor mations that leave the important structural features undisturbed. The proce ss raises questions about musical ontology and the history of compositional practice.  As for the significance of the findings, they are critical ly considered in light of related previous research by Kubik 1988, England 1995, Brenner 1997, and Fernando 2009.
