Founder of ILAM:
| Hugh Tracey began studying African music in 1920, when he arrived from Devonshire, England in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to farm tobacco with his older brother Leonard who had been allotted land as a serviceman wounded in the First World War. He learned the Karanga dialect of the Shona language by working with Karanga farm workers in the fields. |
