Tanzania Yetu - Tanzania Yetu

Tanzania Yetu
Tanzania Yetu
1985

Back in 1985 a Tanzanian 'cultural group' led by Hukwe Zawose visited London. Triple Earth Records arranged some studio time and over a couple of days the 8 tracks on this album were recorded.

There is a danger with this type of arrangement that the results end up sounding clinical and cold. Thanks in no small part to the sensitive production of Iain Scott and Bunt Stafford Clark this potential trap was avoided and the results, to my ears at least, are full of passion, soul and life.

  1. Hi,

    I am trying to contact Iain Scott and Bunt Stafford Clark in regards to getting permission to use Tanzania Yetu and Mateso for a documentary for our non-profit The Foundation For Tomorrow. www.thefoundationfortomorrow.org. We are working towards providing educational opportunities for orphaned children in Tanzania.
    Please advise if you would know how I can connect with these people and Iain Scott and Bunt Stfford Clark to receive permission. My email is meghann@thefoundationfortomorrow.org
    Many thanks
    Meghann
