Text on cover:
‘’In the beginning there was nothing. No light, no darkness either. Nothing except boredom, which Nyambe, the Creator of the Bantu, felt rather severly. ‘’What is to be done’’ he asked Imagination one day. The answer was: ‘’Build yourself a sanza! When you start playing it, you’ll see boredom run away by itself.’’ So Nyambe built a sanza and plucked a note on the keyboard. That first musical sound ever heard came out with the sun which carried the light. Another note created man followed by his wife and numerous children who soon populated the earth. That is how all human beings, black and white, red and yellow were born of the sanza. And again today, any time you produce a sound on a sanza keyboard, a new child is born somewhere in the world’’.
