COMPRESSION ETHICS
Sounds first, words later. Ndanzwa Ngoma Kurira by Zimbabwe's Thomas Mapfumo. From his 1984 Mabasa
album. The lyrics and LP artwork are both stunning, add a whole new
next-level deepness to this already deep track.
The song title translates to I Hear The Sounds of Drumming.
I´ve heard the sound of drumming,
Guys you´ve let me down
I have heard the sound of drumming
Guys, I would like to go
I´ve heard the sounds of drumming
The girls here are proud
I´ve heard the sound of drumming
Guys you´ve killed me
I´ve heard the sound of drumming.
A quick lookabout pulled up this relatively recent article on Mapfumo.
