People moving behind the Simonga-Maliko up to the Pöstlingberg in Linz, Austria.

The Simonga-Maliko moved on the left way up to the top and I moved in middle of the Mayrwiese (where I learned skiing). The music sounds from ~150 meters away to my Soundman microphons but then they walked behind a ridge and I could only hear them from very far away. On the right side of my path there is a little forest and if you concentrate on the right channel of the recording you can hear this beautiful delays and echos out of the forest.

Recorded with Zoom H2 and Soundman OKM on May 3rd 2009 in Linz, Austria.

Length of the recording: 4:30

The drummer of Simonga-Maliko gets some horsepower to make it up the hill to the Pöstlingberg.

The "20er Turm" was built to protect the city of Linz against the troops of Napoleon in the 18th century. No heavy fights happend around this tower, the French army was too powerfull. The Simonga-Mailko from Zimbabwe walked around the tower and played their unique music with their Tonga horns (nyele), beautiful vocals and drums.

Recorded with Zoom H2 and Soundman OKM on May 3rd 2009.

Length: 8:57
