NOTES

 

Hugh Tracey has incorrectly written the date on label A as 1928 and then crossed it out to say 1929. Both dates are wrong—the recordings were made at the end of July 1930.

Many thanks to the Diane Thram and the International Library of African Music (ILAM) for allowing me to photograph their collection.
