  • Description: The players friend sat beside him with another Ekembe on which he played one note by way of a rhythmic accompaniment as the second instrument was not peoperly in tune, and so they could not be played together. This policeman, it appears, would insist upon any man he arrested dancing before him to the tune of his Ekembe on their way to the police station. No one thought this to be an imposition and in fact both policeman and offender enjoyed the performances. While the third song was being played a man in the crowd was actually arrested by another member of the African Police and marched off. Muzeze song with Ekembe 10 note Likembe.

  • Description: The instruments played by the Alur are typical of the Congo family of Likembe, or box Mbira. The Alur are one of the great Luo groups of tribes and are found both in Uganda and North East Congo. These two Likembe are an octave apart and sound very well played together, though the singing in the first song is crude in comparison with the delicacy of the accompaniment. The song 'Ndiri' with its brilliant accompaniment was so striking that I recorded it a second time to see what variations the players would employ. Both editions are reproduced on this disc for close comparision. The treble Likembe is called Natine and the bass Minu an octave lower. Topical song with Likembe and a struck stick.
