Kalimba and Kalimbu Songs, Northern Rhodesia, 1952 & 1957 features the music of what is now modern Zambia. Unlike the other recordings, it focuses on specific types of instruments. The mbira is more familiarly known as "thumb piano," a sound box with metal tongs that are plucked by the performer. The kalimbu is a bow attached to a gourd with a single string, close in design to the birimbau of Brazil.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
