about

From Hugh Tracey’s field notes:

Inkulu in ezakwenzeka - Something very bad is about to happen
(Xhosa/ Ngqika - recorded in 1957)
The woman held the bow vertical in her left hand near the end, and stopped the open string between her first finger and thumb at a spot about 3" from the node. She beat the string with a thin light stick about I8" long and pressed the sound resonator to her chest high up near the left shoulder. The bow emitted two notes only a tone apart, to which she sang very softly.

Sampled by Shawn Lee and Das Kapital on 'Beating Heart - South Africa' - lnk.to/BH-SASo
