• Remembering Zuhura Said Khamis · 2y ago

  Ethnomusicologist, Paris

  I recorded Bi Zuhura in 1999 for my doctoral research. She corrected my Swahili pronunciation, laughed at my notes and then sang a verse so beautiful that I stopped the tape and just listened. I have the original cassette, and I will not copy it.
