Recordist's notes
These recordings picture a visit to the audio archives of the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation ZNBC. Mrs. Namunkolo Lungu from the audio and visual sales office introduces the ZNBC project of documenting the annual traditional ceremonies in all the provinces of the country, which has been running over 15 years. She talks about her work between the archive, the broadcasters, outreach and sales, describes some of the ceremonies, and adds from her personal cultural practices and experiences. The entire playlist of recordings from ZNBC audio archives can be found at: https://archive.org/details/Voices_from_Lusaka_453
