Songs and dances of the Lozi people

Hugh Tracey recorded these songs and dances in 1957 among a group of Lozi from Mangu District, Barotseland, now in Zambia. The recording, however, took place at two different mining sites, the Nkana Mine in Zambia and the Wankie Colliery in Zimbabwe, where the Lozi went in search of work.
