about

Here are the incredible original field recordings made by High Tracey in 1950s South Africa. Hugh's passion was for the world to hear the music of Africa and over a 50 year period he devoted his life to this mission, over 35,000 recordings across 18 countries.

With kind permission from the International Library of African Music, Beating Heart sent a selection of these songs to artists to sample and remix for the 'Beating Heart - South Africa' album. Proceeds support gender equality in South Africa through the Women’s Legal Centre, as well as helping to teach music production skills to kids at Grahamstown’s Access Music Project.

I have loved the dixie Humming birds since the 1960s, but have never heard their early work--amazing. Listening to all this wonderous harmony and spirit comes close to restoring my lost faith in Christianity. ronspin

I saw Msafiri Zawose play WOMAD UK on two occasions this year and fell under his charm as he played solo gigs. This is great to hear him play with other musicians. gr4h4m
