Featuring solo cello, electric bass, African percussion and the instruments of the orchestra, the album draws on the distinctive modal scales and overtone harmonics that characterised South African music before the introduction of Western four-part harmony. In also including pieces by Bach and Marais, Hymns of Bantu highlights both the continuity between musical legacies and the universalities of the human race. - Total timing: 58:18
