SWP Records present a compilation focusing on the kankobela titled, The Kankobela of the Batonga. The kankobela is the thumb-piano of the Batonga people who live on either side of Lake Kariba, in Zambia or Zimbabwe. Upon hearing this music, it is hard to believe that the kankobela is an acoustic instrument considering it's "electric" qualities. The "distortion" is made by taking the membrane a mother spider spins around her eggs and stretching it over a small hole in the hardwood plank of the instrument to create that wonderful buzzing. The "wah-wah" effect is achieved by lifting the plank at one end slightly off, then back on the resonator. The less taut the membrane, the heavier the buzz: "Tongatronics" but without any electricity! Other-worldly songs, mesmerizing time patterns - groovy, funky, ancient yet modern. Recordings by Michael Baird. Features: Nyeleti Mukkuli, Edward Mun'goma, Daunzi Munsaka, Johnny Mudenda, Aaron Nchenje, Andrew George Munyumbwe, Leonard Mweemba Siapwayuma and Timothy Mudimba.

Casual and comfortable
Great quality, soft and comfortable. The sleeves are a little longer than most, but the shirt is roomy enough to order a size smaller.

My Teen Son’s Favorite Shirt Right Now
This ended up becoming my teen son’s favorite shirt really quickly. He reaches for it all the time because it’s lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear without feeling stiff or heavy. The material feels soft with a little stretch to it, and it holds up nicely after washing without coming out wrinkled. It also has a clean look to it that works for casual wear but still looks a little more put together than a basic t-shirt. It’s especially nice for warmer weather because the fabric breathes well and doesn’t feel clingy. Overall, this was a really good buy and one of those shirts that gets worn constantly because it just fits and feels good.

Very dark navy.
This is so dark it almost looks black when I received it. Not the color I thought it would be from the picture. Fit was good though for my son that is 6'2" and 275 pounds. Only returned because the color didn't work for family pictures.

Nice fall shirt
The material on this is great. Its soft and smooth. The fit is nice around the chest and stomach, although the sleeves seem a bit too long for me (I'm 5'9 and ordered the large). Its not very thick, so it's a nice early fall, late spring shirt. The only thing I don't like is that the fabric retains wrinkles. If this isn't hung up while warm, it will hold on to wrinkles
