An Accordion in Lesotho?!

Music is a spring board for understanding culture. The tempo and rhythm in a culture's sounds depict the general mood of people. In the US we share an amalgam of sounds, a true mixing of tempos that create a variety of rhythms and thus a variety of people. Those sounds come from all over the world. Though their roots are traceable to some distant place on the map, their feel is distinctly American.
Lesotho is no different in its shaping of sound. There is a truly unique sound coming out of this tiny country that Basotho should claim all their own. Where the eclectic combination of according, drums, guitar, and singing/chanting/yelling originally emerged I can't tell you. No doubt, though, some European, in their infinite wisdom of personal impact, had no idea how much of an effect bringing an according to Lesotho would actually have on Basotho's taste in music.
In every combi (public transportation) and from any Masotho's radio this distinct type of sound can be heard. Variations on the beat and the feel are numerous but the general feel is rampant within each song.
I am trying not to be biased, but in some ways I don't get the same feeling of enjoyment that Basotho get (the nicest way to say 'I am not a fan'). There just doesn't seem to be a good reason why any kind of music needs a baby crying in the background or ... an accordion ... ever! Even if this is the case, sitting in a combi for five hours with the left speaker hovering over your head at full blast is only enjoyable if you start the trip out deaf.
None the less, Basotho love it. Thank you German Missionaries! Basotho also have some crazy dance moves that fit the quirky music. Hopefully, I can get some previews for you to make your own judgments. You can let me know what you think.
In any event, you don't have to like everything people do in order to appreciate people in general.
