  • Description: The Arab influence is still strong up country particularly along the old Arab trading routes. All the seven items on this side of the disc represent an evening's entertainment spent with a Mohamedan Swahili family in Tabora whose taste in music leans towrds the Arab side of the family than the African. Two close friends who frequently play together in the evenings recorded these items. The wife of one of them provides some of the solos. They are typical, no doubt, of a musical evening at home by Swahili players anywhere in East Africa. All the items were recorded in the small sitting room of their Swahili home. The men singers sat around a table in the light of a parafin lamp and their veiled wwomefolk sat on mats in the adjoining rooms, watching through the doorways. "Whenever I die, my friend, either in town or country, among hites or blacks, play and dance Rungu for me at my funeral." Topical Taarab song, with 1 Udi, 1 Mandoline and 1 Duff tambourine drum (-14.91-).

  • Description: A pretty little instrument of Makua origin from the northern end of Mozambique, one of many brought into Zanzibar by migrant labourers. The instrument is unlike most Mbira in that the metal notes are bent at right angles and pierced into the body of the reasoning box at one end, thus doing away with the neccessity for straining bar and bridge. The notes must therefore be tuned by filing and not as with other Mbira by lengthening or shortening. Irimba solo with Irimba x 7 notes
