about

The two main language groups in South Africa and neighbouring countries are the Nguni (see SWP 020) and the Sotho. This album features two main sub-groups who live on the high internal plateau in South Africa, and near and in Botswana up to the edge of the Kalahari desert. Their mainly vocal music is powerful and moving.
