  • Description: The Wagenya people live on the right bank of the river at the Stanley falls where the Lualaba river, turning westwards changes its name into "Congo" and runs smoothly for a thousand navigable miles. They are interbred with the Arabs who arrived in this district and set up a trade post about the same time as Stanley on his great east to west crossing of Africa in 1887-88. This song shows an interesting example of Genya counterpoint copied from a disc in the reference library this item like others on this L.P. suffers from the surface noise of the original disc. Paddling song with large slit drum, smaller slit drum and conical laced drum.
