This album features the music of the lesser known Kanyok people in southern Congo and their direct and indirect various Luba neighbours. The buzzing ditumba drum, xylophones, likembes, the first guitars - a document of the state of music in 1957 in the urbanizing Katanga mine culture, plus recordings made earlier in 1952. Ethnic party music!
