Recordist's notes
We are sitting together with Patience Kabuku in the shade of one of the doorways to a classroom at Sinazonwe Primary School. The door to Zongwe FM studio is just across the yard from us. It’s Saturday afternoon; you’ll hear the singing from church congregations somewhere nearby. A match at the football pitch is due; occasionally, a motorcycle-taxi crosses the school grounds and interrupts our conversation for a moment. Patience is one of the youth volunteers at Zongwe FM community radio. After completing her secondary schooling in 2014, she started joining the activities at Zongwe, she tells us.... find the entire interview at https://archive.org/details/women_on-air The recording forms part of THE WOMEN SING AT BOTH SIDES OF THE ZAMBEZI, an audio archive of life-story-telling by African women. For information and current activities see: http://both-sides-of-the-zambezi.tumblr.com/
