This edition of the Music Round the World series showcases a variety of songs, dances, and ceremonies from South Africa. Most of the people in this region are of Bantu origin and have developed a wide variety of customs and music throughout the centuries. The first song showcased is from N'Kata Bay, Nyasaland, about a young man who went to Johannesburg to get married a Sotho woman. The second song presented is from Southern Rhodesia called Pimchinanga. The third song recorded is a song accompanied by a goblet drum. The fourth song recorded is of an 18 note instrument from the Fort Victoria District of Southern Rhodesia. The fifth song is from Northern Rhodesia, about a hunter who killed his child in a fit of rage. The sixth recording is another story song about a man getting rid of the baboons who ravaged his fields. The seventh recording is a working song used from the Sotho lands while beating skins for leather. The eighth recording is of a Vugo dance song for women from Malindi, Kenya. Finally, the last song presented is a Manyanga dance song for men from Tanganyika. Music from South Africa forms part of the Columbia World Library of Folk and Primitive music edited by Alan Lomax. Acknowledgments were made to Hugh Tracy of the African Music Society, from whose collection these recordings were taken. This program was prepared and distributed by the radio division of UNESCO in Paris with commentary by Keith Wood.
