The dark rumblings of the manga trough zither, cascades of sparkling likembe notes, deep drumming, and a man playing flute laments outside the hut of a friend who had just died. Together with a makondera horn band from the northwestern corner of the country, a pan pipe ensemble from the coast, and grooves from the musical melting pot of Zanzibar, this selection of historical recordings takes you on a journey of highlights only.
