	Swaziland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kingdom of Swaziland is a small country in southern Africa (one of the smallest on the continent), situated on the eastern slope of the Drakensberg mountains, embedded between South Africa in the west and Mozambique in the east.
		Swaziland offers a wide variety of landscapes, from the mountains along the Mozambican border to savannas in the east and rainforest in the northwest.
		Surrounded by South Africa, except for a short border with Mozambique, Swaziland is heavily dependent on South Africa from which it receives nine-tenths of its imports and to which it sends more than two-thirds of its exports.

	Music, African
		African music from south of the Sahara is distinct from North African music.
		Finally, the timing in African music is distinctive because of its use of the time-line, a short pattern of several, asymmetrically spaced strokes on an iron bell, the rim of a drum, or a glass bottle.
		Music in this region is also distinctive for its use of a large number of musical bows (bow-shaped instruments with one string), complex vocal polyphony, and a general tendency not to use "hot" drumming.

	H-Africa - Swaziland Bibliography
		That this collection includes works by Swazis and non-Swazis published in and outside Swaziland is in itself symbolic of the influence of external cultures and in many respects therefore, a mirror of the pressures on and the consequent but slow changes taking place in Swazi culture itself.
		Notes Swazilands strong sense of identity and the nearly intact traditional culture, and the ongoing clash of cultures and influences on health care.
		Observes that according to the Swazi, death and illness are always considered to be the result of malicious incantation; the two groups of Swazi healers are herb doctors (tinyanga) and spirit mediums (tangoma); drums used by tangoma during their rituals do not belong to the traditional Swazi culture.
