- Description: Bolo achieved an unenviable reputation for having neither shield nor ostrich feathers, and for being an univited guest at drinking parties. The playing drums by these Nilotic people is usually far simpler in rhythm than that of the Bantu. It appears to be essential in Luo society near Kisii to have your shield and your ostrich feathers with you when you attend a funeral. Bul dance song for men with Bunde 5 bass drums, laced and Gara leg bells (-12.55-).

- Description: John Cosmos Owade was a rich patron of the singer. Since any party in the district was not complete without his music he was always invited to play, and it was J. C. Owade who footed the bill. He deserves this 'loving song' as he calls it. The melodies played on the accordion between verses seem to have little or no connection with the song except as an extraneous adornment. As the singer starts to sing a verse the accompaniment reverts to the background and allows the singer to sing in the traditional manner. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).

- Description: "My love you are lost in the town. My love here are my last words, I am not bound to say them but I do, because I know what love is. I know you so well. And all the troubles of love too I know. My love you have killed me. Come and heal me, Mary Arabia. You have not cured me of my love and my trouble. You did not choose to heal me, nor did you dream of it when you were aleep. I miss you for you are lost in the town. And now my sister Reda, we have loved each other for a long time. And now, because we are parting, I wish you happiness and beg you to answer me." The singers are all Luo, but sing this item in Swahili, the lingua franca of East Africa. Town dance, with 4 guitars and a rattle.
