Track1: Inkulu Into Ezakwenzeka
SWP020 –
By 'the Nguni' is meant the peoples along the SE coast of Africa, who are known as Xhosa, Zulu, Swati. On this album we hear traditional unaccompanied groups singing with great vocal power, strength of melody, richness of harmony, and intimate songs with music bows - this is roots music, and these are the most authentic recordings of it! Also some examples of western instruments readily adopted, creative but a still definitely nguni sound, and the seemingly natural step to an own jazz style. Many of Tracey's recordings here have a special clarity - great sounds.
