Ngugi Wa Thiong'o asserts that unlike European arts, those of the African are functional in that they play the role of connecting themselves (the arts) with the people. The art and architecture, the music, the dances and the songs that they have nurtured express the emotions of their people and culture. The art manifests itself as a source of gratification, fulfillment and expression for the African culture. It signifies the people's solidarity, their unity and their purpose. It is through their art that they could relate to each other and the country as one. The art 'functioned' for its very purpose - of celebration and identification - unlike those of the European who produced 'art for the art's sake'.
