This album presents traditional and contemporary music and rhythms of the Tswana peoples. There are "a capella" songs accompanied with clapping and ankle shakers, and others with the traditional story telling voices and backing voices, two or three huge marimbas (xylophones) playing intricate rhythms and melodies. Traditional drums and various other percussion, ankle shakers, clapping and shouts are all part of the feel.
