Kalarahi San [Bushmen] music online on British Library Sounds

Dear Colleagues

Please take a look at the British Library Music Blog to see the latest update to our British Library Sounds website. John Brearley's collection of recordings from the Kalahari are truly beautiful and add to resources available for studying a vast array of themes: ritual and healing, games and children's music, instrumental music of nomadic communities, organology (the variety of musical bow types recorded is wonderful), and much more.

These recordings are available worldwide as streamed audio.

Many thanks

Janet
