The Andrew Tracey Collection encompasses a body of field recordings undertaken by Andrew Tracey from the early 1970s. This collection represents a composite of traditional musical repertoires drawn from diverse sub-Saharan African countries and additional genres encountered during Tracey's extensive musical encounters. The compilation within this collection comprises a spectrum of audio materials, including demonstrations, live musical performances, and comprehensive interviews conducted by Andrew Tracey himself. Notably, a subset of these recordings is dedicated to the mbira, a thumb piano indigenous to Zimbabwe, a subject of thorough and focused study by the researcher.
