Taa! Our Language May Be Dying, but Our Voices Remain (Botswana)

Mesmerizing field recordings from Botswana. Producer/recordist/Grammy winner Ian Brennan ventured to an end-of-the-road location to document songs sung in Taa, a rich language on the verge of extinction.

This captivating music is created by solo and layered voices, handclaps, found percussion, and thumb piano. Shamanic, ghostly ballads from the farthest reaches of Southern Africa. Volume #11 of our Hidden Musics series.
