This program talks about the importance of preserving Africa's musical heritage. Some of the more than one hundred instruments date back to the last century, one of them from the collection is the "Xylophone", better known in southern Africa as M'bira - which is ussually associated with blacksmiths and metal workers. It's quite a complex instrument made from metal and a hollowed gourd.
