about
“It is the colour of the Kgongoloti (black millipedes) rather then their form which is the operative factor in their ability to produce (or aid in the prediction of) rain. The offerings in Tsonga rain rites are often black: a black goat, a black ram, black powder or black insects. In the above song the father’s sheep was probably abducted for use in some ritual as a sacrifice”
Thomas F. Johnston from the article Tsonga Rain Songs

One of my favourite albums of 2022. The rich mixture of traditional musics with field recordings and experimentation fit hand in glove. With its long form passages, there is a beautiful surprise around every corner as the music wends its way along its watery course. Teedubyabee
