I’m Not Here to Hunt Rabbits

Released

I’m Not Here to Hunt Rabbits is a compilation of mostly acoustic guitar and vocal music from Botswana, and focuses on a unique playing style: guitar perched on their knee,  the musicians reach up over the neck of the guitar, their left hand moving up and down the fretboard, nimbly striking the strings with palm, knuckles, and fingers. It’s joyous, carefree music you can imagine bopping to at one of Gaborone’s chabins, cold beer in hand. The compilation also highlights some of Botswana’s traditional instruments, such as the fenjoro, a three-stringed bowed instrument, and the segaba, a one stringed violin-like instrument.
