- Description: This was sung when the late Chief Nyakutolo died and his successor took his place. Although there was only one woman in this group it was clear that they felt her part to be essential as they would not start the song until she arrived. The form of Luvale singing is complex and to an outsider at first appears disjointed but in fact it is well organised and the responses understood and followed by all the people without difficulty. Song at the succession of a Chief, with Chisanzhi bamboo tongued Mbira, 2 struck sticks, bottle and small bell

- Description: This is a genuine African impression of the emotions surrounding a dance in masks rather than the music of the dance itself. A most interesting piece of music. Towards the end of the item, it would appear that he removes the mask to reveal his familiar self to his friends. It is not clear whether the performer Mate sings 'Tanga na likishi', 'Tamba', 'Tambwa', or 'Tambuka'. Barotseland is the furthest south of all the places where carved wooden masks are made. It is said to be a West African cultural intrusion. Further south only grass masks are sometimes used, but no carved ones. Topical song with Kathandi Mbira, fan with external resonator
