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.

Dave Yowell was born and grew up in Kenya, East Africa. His formative years as a musician were spent playing with many local musicians, where, along with psychedelic rock, funk and soul from the West, he absorbed the groove and swing of African, Arabian and Indian musical culture that makes up the backdrop of Kenya's diverse population. In 1973, he moved to London, eventually setting up his own recording studio and production company, Sultan Sound. Today, he lives in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, and is a well-known music producer of world fusion, with many film and television credits.
