This is a song by the Sangu Choir from Tanzania.  They were thrilled to have me record them.  I wish I would have had a field recorder, these choirs sound incredible.  Anyway I used the built in microphone on my laptop and tried to set up the recording as best as I could.  I edited out some of the background noise with Audacity.  I don't know much about audio, so I would appreciate input and advice on how to make these audio files better (There is a high pitched whistling sound in many of the songs that I would love to be able to get rid of).  I recorded more than a dozen songs for both the Sangu and Mwembe choirs.  I would love to sell the CD's in order to raise money for a school in Same Tanzania that has some desperate needs.

I went ahead and converted the song to 44.1kHz.  By the way, your PC mic isn't half bad.  I'm impressed that it did as good as it did.

If you encode your mp3 at 44.1kHz, it'll work better with the site.
