Here’s a jazzy Ngoma record that fell through the cracks – I made a transfer months ago from the big collection of African records that I had made a video about and then forgot about it. Luckily, viewer @davidmalemusa790 reminded me about it so here it is for everyone to enjoy. Thanks, David!
Recorded in Léopoldville, Belgian Congo on May 25, 1954.

From the collection of R. Crumb.
