- Description: "I am a beggar - I have got two daughters, Hapana and Mboyie." A number of the more gifted players of his instruments, the mbira become mendicant players and earn a few free meals, drinks and presents by entertaining their less gifted country folk in this way. The theme of their songs is frequently poverty and sonsequently the words "rombe" a "beggar" and "murombo" a mendicant singer, are sometimes synonymous. This instrument had a mirliton set into the underneath section of the bell, an unusual practice and one that is only effective if used in conjuction with an external which would set it in vibration. Mendicant's song with Mbira dza wa Ndau.

- Description: 'Samandenga' or 'Samanyemba' frequently occurs in S.Rhodesian songs. In this case Samandenga is a fine dancer, but in many other songs, his name indicates that there has been some deceit or falsehood spread abroad and may be associated with a lament. Who the original Samandenga may have been is not known. The singer relates his experiences, not necessarily related to each other. He mentions the women pounding grain accompanied by his Mbira. "Petros Mukumba has gone because he was despised. They agreed with me, but I did not reply." And so on. Self-delectative song with Mbira dza waNdau with 3 manuals and bell.
