"The Kankobela of Batonga Vol. 2" Sharp Wood Productions, SWP 039, Netherlands 2011. 16-track CD compilation. Total duration 68:29.
The Kankobela is the thumb-piano of the Batonga people, who live in the Zambezi Valley on both sides of Lake Kariba in Zambia and Zimbabwe. A solo instrument played by men, to express their innermost feelings in songs about a range of subjects from spiritual to humorous. But it is dying out, there are no young players of this beautiful instrument (...). Otherworldly songs, deep buzzing and mesmerizing time patterns. Tongatronics – but without any electricity!
After the seven masters presented on the Vol. 1 album, here are eleven more old masters, with more otherwordly songs, deep buzzing and mesmerizing time patterns. These recordings, by Michael Baird made in 1996 and 2008, together with Vol. 1, form a rare indepth focus on just one of many music microcosms in Africa that are disappearing. Sit up, take notice, feast your ears on this bit of musical genius - groovy, funky, ancient, modern."
