2011 release. After the seven surviving masters presented on the Vol. 1 album, SWP Records presents here on Vol. 2 eleven more masters, with more otherworldly songs, deep buzzing, and mesmerizing time patterns. Tongatronics -- but without any electricity! These recordings, together with those on the Vol. 1 album, form a rare in-depth focus on just one of many music microcosms in Africa that are disappearing. Sit up, take notice, and feast your ears on this bit of musical genius before it is gone forever -- groovy, funky, ancient, modern. Includes a 20-page booklet.
