Famo music was born in the drinking dens of migrant mineworkers in Lesotho, where the men would sing to unwind after work, accompanied by the accordion, a drum and sometimes a bass. Meet the boy-child Kheleke, a wandering musician, and his surprising sister Moliehi. Then sigh with pleasure at being reunited with Toloki, the professional mourner from Ways of Dying, and his beloved Noria. Passionate and ambitious, Kheleke is a weaver of songs, and his own story is intertwined with the incredible yet true social history of the music: the Time of the Concertina and the Accordion, the wars of the famo gangs, and the battle for control of illegal mines. The end is always a journey - and what a journey this is!"--Back cover 650 0 $a Folk songs. 650 0 $a Miners $v Songs and music. 650 0 $a Historical fiction, South African (English) 650 7 $a Folk songs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00929707 650 7 $a Historical fiction, South African (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958100 650 7 $a Miners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01022485 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Songs and music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01985328 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=563B0C9CDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
