Track 4: Kondipa Ambe Ndimuntu Nyokwe, by Edward Mun'gombe
SWP036 –
The Kankobela is the thumb-piano of the Batonga people, who live in the Zambezi Valley on both sides of Lake Kariba in Zambia and Zimbabwe. A solo instrument played by men, to express their innermost feelings in songs about a range of subjects from spiritual to humorous. On this album we present seven surviving masters, with otherworldly songs, deep buzzing and mesmerizing time patterns. Tongatronics – but without any electricity!
