  • Description: Aliki Chipupa the composer of this hymn was a minister in the Church of Scotland at the Bandwe Mission near the lake, and a friend of the blind singer. Beti set it to the Bangwe although at the mission it was always sung unaccompanied. When the recording was played back all the people standing around joined in, the old man Beti singing a seconf part to his own music. As with many African hymns in which the vernacular translation fails to be encompased by the standard number of bars, this hymn demonstrates a free scansion of the lines. (5 plus 6 plus 5 plus 4 bars). Hymn with Bangwe Raft zither, 7 strings

  • Description: The tune is based upon a song which says that Kalagala was a chief in Busoga who caught and killed the Kabaka's messengers.

Tall laced drum. c. 10 inch head, 39 inches tall. The Naku (-14.22301-) was played with the hands, the others (-14.22303-) were played with beaters. The tall drum stood beside the very large Ntamivu and both were played by one man. The tuning of the xylophone was:- 776, 688, 608, 520, 456, 388, 344, 304, 260, 228, 194, 172 v.s.
