Various - Bulawayo Blue Yodel
Bulawayo Blue Yodel is a collection of beautiful Country & Western-inspired music from 1950s Zimbabwe, South Africa and Kenya; fingerpicking “omasiganda” troubadours, train car yodels, raw slide guitar, and haunting travel-weary ballads, all reissued for the first time from rare 78s.
Featuring George Sibanda, Josaya Hadebe, Sabelo Mathe, Petrus Mntambo and more, with a 12" booklet of deep research and full lyrics, packaged in old school tip-on covers, this is a heavy duty, and hugely enjoyable document of a nearly-lost scene.
