21 original field recordings made by Hugh Tracey in Malawi in the 1950s. The included sleeve notes detail artist names, location and date of each recording and an English translation of lyrical content.

When Hugh Tracey (1903-1977) made 35,000 field recordings across Sub-Saharan Africa between the 1920s & 1970s, his intention was to reveal the beauty and complexity of the music to a world that saw little value in it. Today, almost 90 years later, Tracey’s bid to preserve the music of Africa for future generations lives on. Beating Heart has connected the International Library of African Music (ILAM) archive with contemporary producers, making fresh sounds for a modern audience. Building from Tracey’s vision, the income generated from the sale of this album will be used to assist people in the areas where the music was originally recorded.

Proceeds will support the 'Garden To Mouth' initiative: building food gardens at schools in Malawi.
