about

This is one of the 4 cds in the media book SWP 053 'Luangwa to Livingstone'. The Kalonda Band are legendary in Zambia's Southern Province. These are all tracks recorded during two sessions, in 1996 and 2002. Leader John Simubba died under mysterious circumstances in 2005 - some say he was killed through witchcraft. His courageous lyrics also attacked witchcraft, he is a true folk music hero. This is one of the 4 cds in the media book SWP 053 'Luangwa to Livingstone', but you can buy it separately in the form of FLAC files - right here!
