The album Bona Bantu consists of a compilation of tracks previously released as 78 rpms on Trutone's Envee, Winner and Quality labels, The songs probably range in date from around 1958 to roughly 1962. The album was pressed in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) but almost all tracks are by South African artists and the vast majority of the tunes are kwela-based. http://electricjive.blogspot.com/2011/06/bona-bantu-c1962.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwela http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennywhistle#Kwela
