Liberia is a coastal country bordering Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Cote d'Ivoire. Many tribes employ "talking" instruments such as the fang drum and the bass musical bow that tell stories when played. "Bassa Musical Bow" tells the story of a man dealing with a women's death: "She dead in the bush. The man ain't got no family, ain't got no boy, he ain't born no pickin, ain't got nobody. He don't know what to do..." Liner notes include description of Liberia, track notes, and pictures.
