Comments: From the Associated Press via Yahoo News: "A striking series of singing telegrams of regret, expectation, grief and
warning from an earthly purgatory — or worse — the Zomba Prison Project
captures performances by inmates and guards at a maximum security
penitentiary in Malawi, one of the world's poorest countries...While the men have a basic band (guitar, bass, drums), the women perform
with little backing except each other but acquit themselves stunningly...Since the previous album, some prisoners have died, others have been
released and a few may get another chance, as producer Ian Brennan and
Marilena Delli, his filmmaker-wife, try to have dodgy convictions
reconsidered."
