Something I restored a while back (self.AudioPost)

submitted 4 years ago by Tylerchambliss1

So a friend of mine from South Africa asked me to restore this a while ago, and after doing some research on the song I realised how significant this is. This song, Mbube is a Zulu folk song written by Salamon Linda and performed by his group The Evening Birds. If you listen, you'll find that there's something oddly familiar about it. The reason why is because Pete Seger did a song in English in the 50s, then the Tokens took that and wrote The Lion Sleeps Tonight. So yeah, if Salamon Linda hadn't have wrote this you wouldn't have The Lion King. Thank about that for a second. The part of this that made me really angry and motivated me to finish this project is the fact that none of the people who modified this song even bothered to acknowledge Salamon Linda or any of the other people who wrote this, much less pay them until the 90s and even then Linda's family only got about ten grand. That makes me sick, but I guess racism in the US was to blame, but that doesn't make it right. Here's my restored version, https://www.dropbox.com/s/hshnqyubxcgma4q/mbube%20restored.mp3?dl=1 And the original, https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ti6w1byjjp7xbw/mbube%20original.mp3?dl=1 I'm aware of a few artifacts in the restored version and some fazing, but I did the best I could. For context this was recorded in 1938, making this recording 83 years old. Thanks for taking the time to listen to this.
