Missa Luba 1965: Kyrie (B1)

Stereo-ized 1965 Phillips mono Missa Luba: Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin perform an arrangement by Father Guido Haazen. The entire album has never been reissued, and no currently available recording matches the original's spirit.

If I recall correctly, this was played at the end of the movie, "The Singing Nun." I also once heard it at an opening exhibit of African art at a museum. This, as part of the Missa Luba, is, in my opinion, enculturation at its best--blending the Roman liturgy with African music.

Thanks for putting this on YouTube :D

The B side of the 45rpm Sanctus single which I preferred to the better known A side. I thought it had been completely forgotten. Thank you!
