African music.

[Cranfield]

I am looking for some "African" music, heavy drums, chanting, that sort of thing.

The stuff you hear as a soundtrack on the safari wildlife programmes.

 

Anyone have any titles, or descriptions I can look for ?

I am finding out that "jungle" ain't what I want .

I believe the wider term is "world music".

 

Failing that an old BBC sound effect record under the heading Tarzan.

Limewire doesn't mention "world music".

Similarly, Chesney Hawkes is an anagram of Cheesey w**k (if you drop an H).
