- Description: The singer's upper front teeth were filed. Towards the end of the first item, one string went out of tune, as the small wooden bridge, with which each string is tuned separately, slipped inwards. The Safwa tribe live immediately to the north of the Nyakyusa (Nkonde) near Mbeya. The player took his instrument away before it could be measured. Self-delectative song with Pango board zither.
