In 1957, the ethnomusicologist, Hugh Tracey made over 80 recordings of Tonga music in the Zambezi Valley shortly before the area was flooded to make way for the building of Kariba dam. As part of the Tonga.Online project at Ars Electronica, these recordings return to the valley through a rather complicated series of connections.
