Hugh Tracy saw the importance of music within culture when he worked a tobacco farm in Southern Rhodesia. Here, he experienced music that displayed beliefs and morals, which inspired him to make his filed recordings. He wanted to stop the losing of traditional music and culture from modernity and recoded all of his field recordings from rural areas that still held onto traditional culture and ideas. (en)
