Note : 
More dry guitars, let's go back in time.
In the new urban culture during the fifties in the copper mining towns of Katanga Province
in southern Congo and on the Copperbelt in northern Zambia, the guitar became an important status symbol.
Hugh Tracey the South African broadcaster turned field recordist amassed probably the largest body of pre-independence recordings of music in central and southern Africa.
This focus on guitar music offers a journey from remote forest villages into the cities and mining camps.
Depending on where they lived, miners and urban professionals heard on their radios American jazz and its South African imitators, Cuban pop, and its Congolese imitators, as well as all sorts of
traditional music.....
All of that is echoed in these recordings from Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi during the 1950s.
An exciting document, the emergence of a new sound – with some famous names such as Mwenda Jean Bosco
and George Sibanda......
