Forest Music of Northern Congo

A continuation of Hugh Tracey's famous recording tour in 1952, this album mainly features two Mangbetu groups — the Mayogo and the Meje — with drum ensembles, mass singing, exquisite likembe playing, and the Azande people with xylophone and the intimate kundi harp. More harp by the Balendu and a unique recording explaining the language of sending messages by talking drums. Music from another world.
