EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Musiciens du Barotse; Afrique Australe" (Musicians of the Barotse, Southern Africa), was published in the renowned French geography magazine "Grande Geographie Illustree" in 1914. The image showcases an intriguing group of musicians from the Lozi tribe, an indigenous ethnic group residing in the Barotse region of present-day Zambia and western Zimbabwe. The photograph is believed to have been taken around the same year. The musicians, all men, are captured in the moment of performance, their faces expressive and focused, as they play a variety of traditional musical instruments. The central figure holds a large drum, his body rhythmically moving with the beat. To his left, another man strikes a xylophone, his eyes closed in concentration. In the background, additional musicians can be seen, some playing drums, others holding various percussion instruments. The setting of the photograph is a village scene, with thatched huts and trees visible in the background. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Lozi people, their music playing an integral role in their daily lives and traditions. Despite the photograph's age and the unknown identity of its creator, it remains a valuable historical document, providing insight into the music and people of the Barotse region during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the enduring power of music as a means of expression and connection, transcending the boundaries of time and place.
