South-African Concertina&Whistle?

We have some evidence, however, that you may have to pay for the reeds.

South-African Concertina&Whistle?

Post by Celtpastor »

...just as the topic says: I am searching for South-African music on Concertina&Whistle, preferred instrumental. I don't mean the "Boerenmusiek", but rather more vivid stuff. What can You recommend? Thx in advance!

Using the phrase "squash box" (or squashbox) might make searches more fruitful.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Just to let You know: Finally made it to get the "Squashbox"-CD, even though it's been oop for quite some time. Well - usually, I don't really like fieldrecordings, and also, I haven't been into African music (so far) - but this album is reeeeaaaly GREAT stuff! Strongly recommend it! :thumbsup:

Glad it helped.
