Even My Pain (by Chris Charlesworth 2010)

Don't Drop the Armour
(by Chris Charlesworth)

This song has been an idea for many years. Adapted it for these times.
Inspired & begun near Felekisi, Amanzimtoti, South Africa (Top of Old Main Rd, opposite the trading store) I was in awe of Maskanda Guitar Players (Zulu Walking Music), walking & playing their Bellini Guitars, in the most awesome tunings, with a stick & rubber bands for a capo.

Maskanda (or Maskandi) is a kind of Zulu folk music that is evolving with South African society. Ethekwini Online describes it as "The music played by the man on the move, the modern minstrel, today’s troubadour. It is the music of the man walking the long miles to court a bride, or to meet with his Chief; a means of transport. It is the music of the man who sings of his real life experiences, his daily joys and sorrows, his observations of the world. It’s the music of the man who’s got the Zulu blues."
