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

HI Mike - I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your recordings. I collect African music (I am a composer/producer), and I particularly like the Simonga-Maliko pieces you did. Excellent stuff!
I found you through the yahoo phonography group. Thanks for the 'ear treats'. Carl Max
