zzz... Time for a break — the warm, cozy guitar sounds of Zambia. Alick Nkhata (1922–1978) was a Zambian singer, songwriter, and broadcaster active from the 1950s through the early '70s, serving above all as the "voice of the freedom movement" around Zambia's independence in 1964.
Track List
Superb vintage Afro guitar music sung in Bemba. Born at the height of Zambia's independence movement, it can be enjoyed as country, township, or early jazz — utterly lovely stuff. The latest offering in Mississippi Records' series unearthing Afro guitar sounds. Perfect for chilling out, too! (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
