- Description: The singers were Aushi men. The Chief Kazembe XV died shortly after he was installed, died in fact "while he was wearing a good suit and a tie." This led the local people to ascribe his death to magic. They warn his successor, Chief Mashota, not to accept the Chieftainship as he could not be harmed by magic and that would break the run of ill fortune that has struck the house of Kazembe. Lament with guitar and bottle

The instruments of the mirliton buzzers so that anyone who can sing a Tonga tune can equally well participate in the Malipenga band. Short gourds or horns are used for the higher pitched voices and longer for the bases. 4 Movements of the Malipenga dance, the first 2 with Chandi and Muganda drums, with 12 singing horns (calabash), 1 bass drum.
