Hip Deep Angola radio series, part 3: A Spiritual Journey to Mbanza-Kongo

Ned Sublette's ongoing series about the rich musical and cultural heritage of Angola. Listen and learn about "the simbi, the spirits that Martnez Ruiz describes as the multiple power of god; hear Antonio Madiata play the lungoyi-ngoyi, the two-stringed viola of the Kongo court; attend a session of the lumbu, the traditional tribunal of elders; listen to the voice of a deceased singer who took 500 years of genealogical knowledge with him when he departed; talk to traditional healer Pedro Lpes; and with the help of historian C. Daniel Dawson and with Angolan composer and musicologist Victor Gama, well examine Kongo-Ngola culture in the diaspora in Brasil, Haiti, Cuba, and more."
