African Tribal Music and Dances



Just found this album on the wonderful www.welove-music.net (which is a great resource if you're a fan of indigenous, tribal, religious or general "ethnic" music from around the world) and I must say it's something else, featuring some of the best drumming, chanting and harp playing I have heard.

Genuine live field recordings of traditional tribal rituals from several different tribes (The Malinke, Baloue and others) make this a wonderful collection of real African sounds to take you away from the dull trappings of boxed-in Blighty and into the open grasslands of the Motherland.
This CD also seems to be out of print so let there be no guilt in downloading it for free!
