- Description: The songs are in the Luba/Sanga language, but with words of Bemba here and there. The titles of the first words of each 'memory' were given by Joseph Kiwele. In this composition, Joseph Kiwele collected together all the hunting songs of his home district and combined them in a composite whole. They were sung by his choir of school boys who made their name famous by being the first to sing an African composed Mass, also composed by Kiwele, "Missa Katanga". The choir partially disbanded about 1950 and the remnants only appear in this recording. Joseph Kiwele nine years later became Minister of Education in Katanga under President Tshombe but died suddenly of a strokein 1962 after an outstanding musical career. A miscellany of twenty-two hunting songs, with 2 Goblet drums and 1 wooden slit drum
