Experience the Elderly Difference
2 CDs and an 84pp. hardcover book - A compilation of newly-transferred and remastered recordings that ethnomusicologist and kalimba marketer Hugh Tracey made between 1950-1958, with the focus on rumba and its variations: Congolese rumba, dansi, and benga. The recordings, photographs and detailed liner notes included in this set provide a rich point of immersion into the mid-20th-century music of eastern and central Africa.
