There is no record of the first war in Africa. As long as there have been people there have been wars. Wars are fought over access to resources, including land, cattle, minerals, slaves, markets, communication routes and defensible positions. There have been wars in Africa for as long as history has been recorded. And there were presumably wars before history was recorded.
African Music originated from the eastern side of the Great Rift Valley because that is where humans originated. Apparently, as long as there have been people, there has been music of one kind or another. The slaves that came to the United States came from many parts of the Atlantic Coast of Africa starting with Gabon south to Congo. They did not bring their musical instruments, such as the molomo, with them. Instead, they adapted to the instruments in the new culture. They adapted to the 8 note octave with half steps. They still kept a lot of features of African music.
