Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars North Western province tradition-Zambia.......2007-01-26

This is a collection of very sacred songs of the Lunda people of Northwestern,Zambia.
They are sung as part of the Mukanda ceremony which is a rite-of-passage for boys following circumcision. Uncircumcised men are forbidden to participate in the singing of these songs.

3 out of 5 stars Good Bemba Songs.......2001-01-05

If I close my eyes, I am back in Zambia. Good vocals and has captured the pure energy. Would like to have had more drum.
