1998 release. In 1961 the court of the Tutsi king was no more and the music exclusive to it was never heard again! These historical recordings made in 1952 at the court by pioneer Hugh Tracey give us an impression of this place of absolute power and yet beautiful music. Featuring some of the best ensemble drumming you will hear anywhere, praise songs of great intensity, and eerie horn ensembles. Includes a 16-page booklet.
