Description

Mvet Ai Mandzang - Music Of The Beti on CD

The zither with notched bridge, "mvet," and the "mendzang" xylophone are the most important musical instruments of the Beti of southern Cameroon. Traditional epic ballads and love songs are accompanied by the zither. The xylophone groups play very rhythmically and melodiously, in general on public and festive occasions. The recordings for this CD within Wergo's series "Museum Collection Berlin" were made in 1984 in Cameroon and in 1989 in Berlin, at a time when this tradition was still alive. First recordings.
