"Shuli Negroes Playing Music" is a historical photograph taken by Richard Buchta, a 19th-century Austrian explorer and photographer known for his work documenting the people and landscapes of Central Africa. The photograph is part of Buchta's broader body of work that aimed to capture the cultural practices and daily life of various ethnic groups in the region during his travels in the 1870s.

The image depicts a group of Shilluk (also spelled Shuli or Chollo) musicians and dancers, an ethnic group native to South Sudan along the banks of the White Nile. The Shilluk are known for their rich cultural heritage, including music and dance, which play a significant role in their social and ceremonial life. Buchta's photograph is significant as it provides a visual record of the Shilluk people and their artistic expression during the late 19th century, a time when few Westerners had ventured into the interior of Africa.

As an early example of ethnographic photography, "Shuli Negroes Playing Music" offers insights into the use of visual media to document and represent indigenous cultures. The photograph is also reflective of the era's colonial gaze, with European photographers often portraying African societies from an exotic or anthropological perspective. Buchta's work, including this photograph, has been studied by historians and anthropologists for its contribution to the visual history of Central Africa and its complex legacy within the context of colonialism and ethnography.

The photograph is held in various collections and has been exhibited in museums, contributing to the discourse on the representation of African cultures in historical photography and the importance of preserving such images as part of the world's cultural heritage.
