This was introduced in the guidebook "OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION". This is the first album released in 1983 by The Spirit Of The People, featuring Ephat Mujuru, one of the best mbira players of the 20th century, Thomas Wadharwa Gora and Tabetha Matiki. It is a piece of African minimal folklore with a simple yet delicate and warm mbira melody, polyrhythms played by shakers, and chants with a unique lilt. The whole album is excellent. The quality of the vinyl is nice condition for a Zimbabwean pressing.
