- Description
- This "gnome-like"" music, so easily played and accompanied has swept into popularity since 1956. It has an immediate effect upon young Africans, especially those under twenty and perhaps even more so upon the under ten year olds. Mlembe is a native Swati name for this Havelock asbestos mine. Every tune on the whistle-flutes or penny whistles enjoys the mane of "special: a trick learnt from gramophone record titles. They all imitate other tunes in an urban/folk manner until there is no telling which tune came first, which is the original, and which is the imitation. Town dance with 2 guitars (-10.58-), 2 penny whistle-flutes.
