Recordist's notes
…all get up for the anthems… first the Zimbabwe national anthem… then, what I gather, might be a special anthem of the BaTonga… …we are witnessing an award ceremony at Damba Primary School, a village in the bushland near Manjolo… the village and guest are gathered under the largest tree in the school ground… From: http://both-sides-of-the-zambezi.tumblr.com/
