African Rhythms and Instruments Volume 3 The Pan-African Cultural Festival,1969

The long awaited third and final volume of "African Rhythms and Instruments" is full of exuberant recordings from the political and musical event that has become legend - the first Pan-African Cultural Festival held in Algiers during the summer of 1969. Performers from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, are heard performing on bandir and derbuka, bagpipe, wind instruments and voices, in a once-in-a-lifetime event. This momentous recording is a celebration of both musical tradition and political liberation from long years under colonialist rule.
