about

This beautiful guitar style is completely unknown outside of Zambia. It is based on the ancient harmonics and tuning of the kangombio thumb-piano. Featuring the Lipa Band and the Libala Band, plus a homemade banjo track. This is one of the 4 cds in the media book SWP 058 'Music from Barotseland', but you can buy it separately in the form of FLAC files - right here!
