NAMIBIA

A big country that has been under colonial mastery for nearly all of the last century. Not a lot of home grown music available but it should get better as tourism brings more contact with the rest of the world. Having said that about ten years ago I have seen virtually nothing at all being released outside the country! Must be something there worth having.

South West African Peoples Organisation freedom songs sung by the SWAPO Singers, arranged by J. Kaujewa, and released by the SWAPO Department of Information and Publicity in London in co-operation with Action Namibia, Holland. Comes with a lyric sheet insert in English. I was expecting something fast and stirring but the music is more guitar backed gospel music utilising the click sounds of the language for percussion. Interesting.		1. AFRIKA 2. ODI WENA VORSTER 3.
