Banda-Linda horn ensembles and chorus (1964–67)

Banda-Linda horn players and singers

Meet the recording

A full-access CNRS ethnomusicology archive item of transverse horn ensembles and chorus collected by Simha Arom and Geneviève Dournon. Listen for tightly interlocking pitched lines between horns and voices; this is not the former Ongo recording.
