The timekeeper drummer is called-Ishakwe. The beaters of drum sticks are called-Murisho (s), Imirisho (pl.). The names of the are from treble to bass. Lead drum-(in this case a small bucket drum)-Ishako. 1st drum-Nyahura, 2nd drum-Nterero, 3rd drum-Irubi, 4th drum-Luvugamahame, 5th drum-Chihumurizo. The leader plays his own drum and sometimes the three also on either side of him (4 all told) when setting a rhythm. His second in command also plays his own drum and sometimes one on either side (3 in all). The time setter stands out in front of the line and keeps the time going. This recording was made near a plantation of tall eucalyptus (blue gum) trees and the diffused echo from the boughs and leaves overhead can be clearly heard throughout. Team of Abuiiru drummers, 15 drums, conical, laced and closed, beaten with sticks (-14.22303)

  • Description: The tuning of this little Nile valley harp is interesting, viz:- 396, 324, 292, 252, 224, vs. as it does not cover a complete octave which is more usual with other harps of this design. Presumably had there been a sixth string it would have been tuned to 198 the lower octave of the top note thus giving a pentatonic scale. Self delectation song with Bonguma horizontal, arched harp.

  • Description: "A man went on a journey and took the train." The railway has reached this spot far into the interior of the Congo. It is a narrow gauge (about 2' 6") line which runs from Aketi on one of the northern tributaries of the Congo eastwards to the edge of the great tropical Ituri forest, In common with many other parts of Africa local railway trains have struck the imagination and figure frequently in song. It is interesting to note the "Ai-yo-o" of the singer so often heard in guitar songs. Party song with a Kombi and 1 Gbe-Kombi Likembe.
