Four albums of glorious Zambian music from the easternmost part of Lusaka Province down to the southernmost part of neighboring Southern Province - recordings from the confluence of the Luangwa and Zambezi rivers to the Victoria Falls. Disc one - Chikunda/Nsenga/Soli/Cewa (SWP 054): the music of the Chikunda people has never been recorded before, great drumming and beautiful songs by their Nsenga and Soli neighbors, sparkling kalimba in the Cewa tradition. Disc two - The Complete Kalonda Band Recordings (SWP 055): the legendary popular Southern Province group recorded in 1995 and 2002. Leader and guitarist John Simubba died in 2005, allegedly killed by witchcraft. Disc three - Southern Province Mix (SWP 056): a vibrant mix of traditional music of the Valley Tonga, Plateau Tonga, and Ila peoples, including warm examples of the homemade guitar and the mother of berimbau - the kalumbu bow. Disc four - Leya Ceremony and Songs (SWP 057): from the immediate vicinity of the Victoria Falls - only true name Shungu Namutitima - come these ceremonial and traditional songs of great intensity and deep meaning of the Leya people.
