  • Description: The cross rhythm of this song is typical, while the melodic formula of the lyric is one which has come up to N. Rhodesia from the south where it originated eight years ago in a song called "Vura matambo." from the Muzezuru tribe in S. Rhodesia. This demonstrates the persistence of the oral folk evolution of songs, now accelerated and more widely distributed by means of phonograhic recording. In the ordinary course of events, this tune would never have moved so far from its original home some 600 and 700 miles away. Morality song with guitar and bottle.

  • Description: The Malipenga dance of the Tonga and other tribes of north central Nyasaland was originated, they say, in military drill which it imitates. With African genius for converting what is normally a drudgery into a game, these Tonga made barrack square drilling into a form of enjoyable dance, with opportunities for all to shine in the grace of their movements. The instruments of the military band have been substituted by singing horns- with 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 basses. 2nd and 3rd Movement of the Malipenga dance with bass drum (mine type), pegged, closed, wooden beaters and 1 small cylindrical drum, pegged, closed and wooden beaters.
