RELEASE DATE

2009 release. The
kankobela
is the thumb-piano of the Batonga people, who live in the Zambezi Valley on both sides of Lake Kariba. A solo instrument played by men, to express their innermost feelings in songs about a range of subjects from spiritual to humorous. The instrument itself is always highly customized, and the songs all highly personal: no two players sound the same. But it is dying out, as young people are not continuing the tradition. On this album, SWP Records presents seven surviving masters, with otherworldly songs, deep buzzing and mesmerizing time patterns. Tongatronics -- but without any electricity! Includes a 20-page booklet.
