Abstract In 1957, Hugh Tracey recorded these Chokwe speakers, who originated in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These dance songs, accompanied by goblet or conical drums, were recorded in mining compounds in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola, where the Chokwe had gone to work (Tracey 1973).
