  • Description: Bolo achieved an unenviable reputation for having neither shield nor ostrich feathers, and for being an univited guest at drinking parties. The playing drums by these Nilotic people is usually far simpler in rhythm than that of the Bantu. It appears to be essential in Luo society near Kisii to have your shield and your ostrich feathers with you when you attend a funeral. Bul dance song for men with Bunde 5 bass drums, laced and Gara leg bells (-12.55-).

  • Description: This story, told by an old woman, of the handsome young man and his jealous mother is almost identical with a similar story I found amongst the Karanga of Southern Rhodesia in 1932. The story concerns a handsome young man who wanted to get married but his jealous mother made him promise that he would not marry any girl who ate food cooked by her. Girl after girl was turned away until one discovered the secret pact, refused the mother's food and married the handsome son. The Ngoni of the Jiri clan came up through the southern regions of what became Southern Rhodesia sacking the settlement at Zimbabwe on their way. It is clear that they must have captured a girl from that region who bore her master children to whom she taught her own home stories in Karanga and they in turn handed them on to the next generation. In Bikita district Southern Rhodesia, the chorus sings:- "Tiende gore tiende gore" instead of the Ngoni in this version. "Ce ce gore, ce ce gore." Story with song

  • Description: The mask of the male dancer consists of a headpiece covered with sheep's wool, crowned with guibea-fowl feathers and a rag costume of sacking. The male dancer may not approach near the women hence the distance away of the singing chorus. Four drummers provide the rhythm and the assembled women sing the chorus. Kacipapa is the name of the mask in which the principal dancer dances, and gives its name to the dance itself, a ,ask dance. The masked man sings in a feigned falsetto, voice in order to hide his identity from the crowd. The names of the two drums were:- Mpanje-the tall drum; and Mbalwe the Mtiwiso for the larger and smaller goblet drums. There appear to be several versions of the Chinyau dance in central Nyasaland. Kacipapa dance song, Mask dance, danced for obsequies of a dead chief or headman with 2 goblet drums and 2 tall cylindrical drums

  • Description: The singers explained "The 'Hanzi bomu bomu' song is our latest composition which is being sung all over the country. Please make sure you learn how to sing it." "Hanzi bomu bomu" means 'Hand bombs' or 'hand grenades.' This refers to the 1939-45 war. Many of the singers were in the K. A. R. (Kings African Rifles) but they had only a distant and hazy idea of the effect of explosives. Muganda dance with Malipenga singing horns (-11.13-) and 2 bass drums
