Rajamanickam Pillai (1898-1970) was a famous Indian violinist in the Carnatic tradition of Southern India. Here he plays a well-known song in the Behgada mode, accompanied by the morsing, a South Indian jaw harp. Morsing playing technique is mainly rhythmic, working in conjunction with the mridangam, the primary drum of Carnatic music. While the morsing is an ancient instrument used throughout South India and the Sindh region of Southern Pakistan, the violin only became popular in the 19th Century after it was introduced to the region by British colonialists.

Broadcast was an excellent independent Indian label in the 1930s. I believe this record was made in 1937.

This record features West African fiddle music of the Hausa people, played on the goje, a one string gourd fiddle, covered with lizard skin.
The Hausa are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa, centered mainly in Nigeria, and are predominately Islamic.
Hausa is the 2nd largest African language after Swahili.
