A great collection of historical recordings by the great ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracy, dedicated to the development of guitar music of southern Congo and northern Zambia during the years 1957-1958. This collection stands as an important document of the emergence of a totally new sound in African music. It was (and still is) a unique blend of African roots and western pop!SIDE 1:1.
