Description: The rhythm was tapped out on the body of the Likembe by a friend with a pen knife, the same tapping rhythm that is found from Angola across the continet to the Indian ocean. Luvale players often sit on a log or stool, lean over and play their instrument low down near the ground with obe arm coming from behind one leg and the other in front. A friend takes any convenient stick or piece of metal and taps out the inevitable rhythm on the body of the instrument itself avoiding the players thumbs which are plucking the tips of the reeds. Topical song with Likembe Mbira, with 8 notes above box and a knife

Description: The rhythm was tapped out by a knife on the Mbira. Sung in organum by 3 women and 3 men. The principal man in the group wagged his tongue whilst he mimed the movements of the dance, during the playback. This was his own peculiar contribution and not generally done. This is a typical and highly repetitive Luvale song demonstrating their distinctive manner of singing in organum. Farewell song, with Likembe Mbira 8 notes
