Description

Frenetic, fast, traditional African marimba piece, performed by the royal musicians of the Kabaka (king) of Buganda.

Buganda is the name given to a region of Uganda that has existed since pre-colonial times, originally the kingdom of Buganda.
This recording was made in the field in Uganda, close to the border with Burundi and was recorded by Dave's uncle, the late Robbie Robinson in 1962 on a Uher tape recorder.
