  • Description: The chief had told him he should go to the next village where a competition "eating lumps of porridge" was going on. But when he arrived he found there was no such competition. "Eating lumps of porridge" was used for a music competition where singers and instrumentalists compete against each other in friendly rivalry. The style of singing displayed in this item is very similar to that used by young Zulu men in South Africa in the industrial centres, where it is called the 'Mbude' style or 'Bombing'. Volume rather than quality is the criterion of their singing. Wigasha dance song for men and women.

  • Description: The slight pauses in the song are the points where the bow of bamboo needed a little more spittle, necessitating its removal from the string. Most simple string lutes of this kind are bowed with a sisal bow, but occassionaly, as in this case, with a short lenght of bamboo, a sliver taken from the outside of the stalk. Instead of natural rezin the players use spittle. Humorous song with Karigo one stringed lute

The tuning of the harp is as follows:- 322, 284, 240, 180, 161, 142, 120 vs. Topical song with Ekidongo eight string horizontal harp.
