Back in 2006 I was on my third visit as guest astronomer to Sossusvlei Mountain (now 'Desert') Lodge. I wanted to give something back to the staff, and so I took some recording equipment with me and over a couple of (hectic but fun) evenings, I managed to gather the choir together in their staff village recreation room and record them singing their songs! They started singing to guests in 2002, and over time developed a large repertoire of traditional Namibian songs. I hope you enjoy them!
