Küsters South Africa

Inscription on the rollers: Küster's Zulu. The rollers were probably taken during Küster's stay at the Zulu mission station Inkamana (1923 - 1926). As the original documentation is not dated and correspondence is only available from 1927 onwards, it is not yet possible to date this collection with certainty. Transcriptions of some pieces in Schneider 1934a. The collector's cylinder copies in Munich were transferred to the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv in the early 1960s (see EB Reinhard). Further documents and ethnographica are in the MV Munich (cf. also Kecskési 1991).Contents: traditional songs and musical instruments, chanting, voice recordings
