Great set of records these! There was a time some years back when I was looking for these.I gave up soon, not being able to find them anywhere; should have known that you'd have them!

This is a good introduction not only to African instrumental traditions, but also to the universe of recordings made by Hugh Tracey.

Thanks a lot, bo!

I am very happy you like it! The rest of the series will come but I have prepared so many other things so I will post some other material in the following posts. But stay tuned cause eventually all the 10 volumes and then some will appear.

Definitely there are more rituals coming!
