The Language of the Land : Living Among a Stone-Age People in Africa

Rating:
Summary: Read AND Listen
Review: What a wonderful book and to make it even better the CD of the music of the Hadzabe is now available. Produced in France, it can be found on Amazon.com. Titled "The Hadza Bushmen of Tanzania", the CD features recordings of the music as sung and played by the characters in James Stephenson's incredible book. You will recognize the photographs on the album cover as those from the book and recognize the musicians as the characters Stephenson introduces us to. There are songs and chants from around the camp fire, from rituals, hunting songs and the sounds of daily life. What a rare opportunity to glimpse an ancient way of life and experience its music before it is gone forever.
