  • Description: Chaminuka is the name given to a whole line of religious prophets who for many generations led the spiritual life and thoughts of the Karanga people. One of the Chaminuka prophets is said to have smitten the waters of the Zambezi so that the river parted. The Karanga people came over dry foot. His soul, they say, first flew across the river in the form of a dove. Towards the end of the song, the singer breaks into the local patois, representing a conversation between him and a 'Mujoni'. a policeman on a horse. Humorous song with Njari (Mbira).

  • Description: An unusual musical bow on account of the use of a bridge ith which to divide the string into two segements and convey the sound direct to a small drum like resonator attached to the bow near its center. This simple little bow is played with an ox-tail bow near the point of stress. A thin stick is inserted between the gourd's membrane and the wire, conveying the sound down to the resonator and also dividing the single string into two unequal segments. The player stops the shorter of the two, thus producing the fundamental note on the longer segment and two or three notes on the shorter. It is perhaps strange to think that this product could prove entertaining and satisfactory to the performer. Self delectative song, with Chimwanikoda bowed musical bow, braced.
