Recordist's notes
Mulenga Mulenga takes us on an audio journey through her artistic research practice across Zambian cultural heritage, and especially the traditional teachings of the Bemba, which are passed down through generations in elaborate “multimedia” forms and events. Here, she describes some of the symbols, sculptures and ritual teachings of the Mbusa ceremony…. From: http://both-sides-of-the-zambezi.tumblr.com/
