The mshogoro, zifafa, balolo, and tari instruments recorded on this album depict sounds heard during a traditional wedding celebration, or harusi, in the town of Domani on Anjouan Island. Gabus (a five-stringed lute), twarabu (an English-style concert), and Malagasy-influenced ndzedze (box-zither) are occasionally included in weddings. Drumming for boxing-matches, mrenge and spirit-possession music, the mriswala, are also considered music, but are not associated with weddings in any way.
