  • Description: The raft zither is made out of eight palm midribs joined together. The string is continous being tuned from the high note downwards by straining the first then making up the slack in the second and so on. The tuning therefore is apt to be uncertain but conforms to the general mode. The music of the Pango is accompanied by dancing by three men, one having small bell rattles (Nzisi). When the player makes a pizzicato all the dancers bend down and make a 'ha-aa' sound in rhythm. The raft zither is about 22 inches long between the bridges. Tuning:- 352, 332, 296, 252, 212, 166, 198. This tuning is unusal in that the 7th note is higher than the 6th instead of being the lowest on the zither. Nganya dance tune for men and women.

  • Description: "Uhimila was so fine a dancer that even Kihimyali would bow down and clap his hands." All African tribes seem to idolize their good dances. The cutting of cicatrices on the face is accompanied by songs such as these, and by festivities and dancing. There is a local breed of fowls which have no feathers on their necks and very red skin. The song refers to a certain diviner who used to smear his face and neck with red earth. The people of the village can be heard chatting and laughing during the song, and a bird can be heard in the background of the second song. Ucheyeki song for cutting cicatrices.
