  • Description: This is the old Mzeno (1947) which is now no longer sung and danced to. It was replaced by the Mzeno waHamela, Hamela's Mzeno. Sitiki was once working in the Johammesburg mines and sent his coat to the tailor to be mended because it was torn. The tailor put leather onto the tear. When Sitiki came for it and asked him why he put on leather patches the tailor said, "because of the Germans". The man went away and made a song that all English material came from Germany, and that was why he had to have leather patches on his coat. Orchestral dances with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: Ngeniso, the entry of the dancers, and the exit of the dancers at the end of the Ngodo are the only movements in which a drum us used with the Timbila xylophones, and not every village uses drums. Some say that the loud noise of the drum spoils the music. This item could give substance to their objection, but Banguza's village the drum is preferred. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 16 players (-14.52102-).

Ngodo of Regulo Banguza : Mzeno and Mtsumeto, Chikulekule

  • Description: This new Mzeno of Komukomu is most unusual in that he has combined it with the Msumeto, the 'advance' Mzeno, with the 'retreat' Mtsumeto. It was composed in 1948. The melodies or counter subjects sung by the dancers are particularly pleasing and illustrate the wide musical potential of this form of passcaglia. The change from Mzeno to Mtsumeto occurs at 3m. 59s. from the start of the item. Komukomu was never afraid of innovations, and this was one of them. The fact that it did not last long and he reverted to the more usual form of separate Mzeno and Mtsumeto would indicate that it was not considered altogether satisfactory as a device. This item was recorded at the neighbouring village of Mavila. Two movements of orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: Komukomu started this attractive melody very quickly while a few members of the orchestra interpolated occasional notes. When we recorded this item they played rather more loudly than before and lost something of the charm of this solo performance. As the road to Regulo Banguza's village was at the time impassable, Komukomu and his musicians walked over to Mavila's village with their instruments for this recording, a distance of about six miles. The drift across the river was temporarily out of use on account of recent floods. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 4 players (-14.52102-).

  • Description: Note how the opening Cadenza is a brief summary of the main musical ideas to be treated in the body of the work (Chiriri movement). The woman who ululates in this piece used to take a shield and dance with the men in her young days, an unusual practice but done on rare occassions as the Ngodo is essentially an athletic dance for men only. Orchestral dances with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This is the first Chopi Ngodo ever recorded and published. It is described in my book "Chopi Muscians" Oxford University Press. The recordings were taken on glass based acetate discs in November 1943 and copied onto tape in October 1963. With the exception of a few verses omitted from one or two of the lyrics this version, performed away from home in the broadcasting studios of SABC Durban, Natal, is the same as a village performance but without the dancers. The players themselves sang all the words which are normally sung by the dancers. As there were no dance routines to be completed during the performance, each item is rather shorter than it would have been in the home village. With these minor exceptions the Ngodo is the complete work; all of it the composition of its leader Katini, a leading figure in Chopi music for 40 years. He died in 1948 about 60 years old. Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This Msitso, orchestral introductions to the Ngodo dance are fine examples of the classical style of starting the performance. Each Msitso is composed as pure music without a lyric base and Komukomu who dies in 1962 was a master of his craft, both as leader of his orchestra and a composer for over 30 years (See "Chopi Musicians" page 39). Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.
