Here are photos of musicians I've recorded and that can be heard on the cd. From left to right: The cow skin drum (heard on track 8), Joseph Mparinkoi (tracks 5 & 15), myself recording a small group of women in a nearby school building (track 3) and three young girls singing. They were fascinated by my roll of duct tape, so I gave them each a small piece which they stuck on their foreheads and began to sing (the young girl in the center is featured on track 9).
