Very important to see an ancient berimbau played on its primitive way.

Yes the kalumbu, or okambulumbumbwe as it is known in neighbouring Namibia, got 'exported' to Brazil where it has become famous as the berimbau. You see, the Portuguese operating from their enclave Luanda on the coast, asked the Tschokwe people to get them slaves in exchange for guns. The Tschokwe raided the peoples in the interior - Luba, Kanyok, Lunda, Ila - and those musical cultures went over to the nordeste of Brazil.

With the right backing, he could prolly put together an album. I'd buy it off itunes...
