Description / content note
-
This item was recorded in the Eastern Transvaal where the performers had come to work on a citrus estate. In spite of over a century of osolation from the main Ngoni peoples, these Ngoni of Nyasaland still retain in their music, dancing and customs, the traits of their distant relatives in the South. Musically it is interesting to note that many Ngoni seem to be able to sing in either the pentatonic modes of the Zulu groups or adopt the heptatonic modes of their mother's people who have married into the Ngoni clans. Ngoma wedding song with stamping and hand clapping.
