Malombo

Philip Tabane and Malombo

1988: Kijima Records CDBIG 002

1. Motshile [a boy’s name]
2. Mashaba [a dedicated fan’s name]
3. Ke Kgale / Long Time
4. Ngwanya Oyalela / Crying Child
5. Hi Congo [for a singer from Zimbabwe]
6. Sangoma / Witch-Doctor
7. Phamba Madiba / Big River
8. Thabang [Philip’s son]

I don’t play this one nearly enough…. I tracked down a copy so I would have “Motshile” on CD, having heard the track originally in a dance concert by Long Nguyen around 1988.
