The songs on this collection from Alick
Nkhata were recorded in the 1950s in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia).
They comprise about one quarter of his recorded musicial legacy and
as such are representative of Alick's output, varying from simple
songs where he accompanies himself on acoustic guitar to duets with
Dick Sapseid on piano or Shadrack Sako on guitar to more elaborate
arrangements with a quartet or with the Luska Radio Band. These are
songs which amused, enteratined and educated an entire generation
of Zambians in the 1950s.
