Title: Nkumba
Description: Today much of Africa is troubled. Perhaps in 1971 Zambia was less so, but it still had poverty, shanty towns, border closures and banditry. The ebb and flow of world copper prices was reflected in the prosperity or otherwise of the country and the wellbeing of its people. The sun is ever-present in Zambia, with sunsets that are breathtaking swathes of colour. Sometimes the throb of drums will carry on the night air, telling of some celebration deep in the bush. The drums seem to speak of an ancient culture unchanged by the passing years - but there is much going on beneath the surface; there is much to tell.
