A collection culled from a series of previous releases of African music on ARC, Ancient Civilizations of Southern Africa takes a stab at covering the vast cultural ground of the lower half of the continent, involving the multiple groups within the San, the Qwi, the Tsotho, and the Nguni peoples. While this seems a profitable venture for all, there's a catch. The pieces aren't grouped by peoples, by instrument, or by theme. They're simply put together. As a result, the album jumps from mbaqanga to a Venda horn piece to Zulu percussion to a bush song, and back to choral music. As such, it can be a bit schizophrenic. Nonetheless, the music quality is good, and the recording quality is quite good for relatively authentic African recordings. The various albums that went into the creation of this one may be more satisfying on their own, but this still makes a decent starting point for further exploration.
